SnakePit Round Table: The Art of Falling Apart

Jack: Hard to say of course. On the one hand, it seems like if Manfred can get the owners unified they could have a fairly quick breakthrough. On the other hand, the owners are not incentivized to get a deal until they’ve missed 20 or so games as that’s when they really start to lose revenue from TV contracts. The players are dug in for a while, with the union offering stipends of 15K per month starting in April. It’s not a lot, but it’s enough to hold the lower paid players over for a while. I think the current state of impasse remains unchanged for at least a few more weeks.
