We have now reached the darkest timeline as MLB has officially locked out the players and we are now in a work stoppage. After a frenzy of free agent signings, the Braves as well as the rest of league are completely frozen until a new CBA is agreed upon.
We have already heard from MLB and MLBPA directly on their stances going into the lockout. Now, the Braves have made their position known as Braves President and CEO Derek Schiller sent out the following statement. To say that it leans very pro-ownership would be a fair assessment.
We want to thank you for your continued support of the Atlanta Braves.
