The sad thing is that this move degrades the quality of the game. You have less people and the chances of someone having the time to develop into a really solid player is reduced.
They won't want to lose their salary though. So I don't think they have ever called for a shorter season.
Looks like its more of the same, MLB offers a slightly re-tweaked offer that isn't much different then previously rejected offers. Players do the same.
I guess they say down yesterday for 5 hours - I'm so far removed from contract negotiations of any kind, I'm kind of baffled as to how they can be in one room all day and only come up with a small change

The owners underestimated the players this time. Not going to be a cake walk deal this time around.
as an expo fan this petty crap is 1994 all over again,
these cement headed suits and ties sitting behind fancy desks and squabbling for the scraps from Manfred's table that they've missed your Fehr-given right to something better, just be happy your clients can afford that 3rd house on Marco Island without playing a Seilg-dammed inning.

The players realized at how much they screwed themselves out of money last CBA, so yes. The player's association is going around beating the drum of unity every chance they get.
The acrimony between the owners and the union was on full display prior to the '20 (COVID-shortened) and '21 seasons, as was their style of negotiation.
Little wonder that has carried over to the even larger task of agreeing on a new CBA, which will rule for the next four years.
I enjoy the game, but yeah, they'll work it out when the work it out…

Judging by the reports coming out, they are still very far apart.
Shortened season if no deal reached by Monday.
Sadly, shortened season it will be. I can't see a resolution by then, unless one side caves for the good of the game. And that's probably not going to happen.

Once the lockout was announced a shortened season was inevitable. Now the only question is how many games will be cut.
The owners want a short season so they don't have to pay the players. The players will wait them out to prove a point.
So much for the lies about owning a team not being profitable.

I have to say its just ridiculous that the commissioner of baseball would in effect be crying poor mouth and implying how those poor poor owners are struggling financially.
They're meeting this afternoon in Jupiter, FL. I'm only three hours away. Maybe I'll stop by the talks and speak for the fans
