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
Please do. And be sure and report back to us if you get results.
Well, I went. They charged me $25 for parking, $12 for a bottle of water, $5 to use the bathroom and $125 to get in. Then the sprinklers went off, and they called the meeting on account of rain.
Make sure to introduce the “going at the ballpark should be cheaper” thing they all have forgotten about.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
I guess we’ll see a 100-games season at most.
MLB turns over its 'best offer' on CBA to union
MLB has delivered what it has said will be it's "best offer" for a new collective bargaining agreement to the players' union.
Yahoo Sports is saying that the first two series are canceled, season is now 156 games.
Appears to be, as that was MLB's "final offer" They're taking a break and reassessing next steps which seems to mean that both sides are pretty dug in.
Sadly true. Direct from Manfred:

An interesting read, thanks for sharing.
As I'm reading this article, How Rob Manfred's ineffective reign as MLB commissioner led to baseball's 'disastrous outcome' I remember how badly Manfred handled allowing baseball to play during the pandemic. Other sports actively worked together to do what they could to salvage their season, where as Manfred seemed to go out of his way to put up road blocks or just be a royal pain. I openly wondered about how the CBA process would go, given the high levels of acrimony the players had with trying to get on the field in 2020
Manfred is merely a tool of the owners. MLB hasn't had a commissioner who's pushed back on the owners' whims in a long, long, long time, and Manfred is by far the weakest commissioner baseball has ever had.
The owners, left unchecked, would allow their greed to ruin baseball. Revenues have gone up dramatically, and ownership has grabbed an ever-increasing percentage of the revenues from the players, but the owners' primary modus operandi has primarily been to crush the player's union. Not that I think Tony Clark has done a stellar job as president of the player's union.
