Representatives from Major League Baseball and the MLBPA met again Monday on what is the league’s stated deadline to complete a deal or lose regular season games. Monday was the eighth straight day between the two sides and the previous seven produced only minimal movement. The two sides met for over six hours Sunday and were quiet about what took place giving some a sense of hope, however the tenor changed Monday with the league showing a willingness to miss a month of games if needed.
MLB today indicated a willingness to miss a month of games and took a more threatening tone than yesterday, sources briefed on the day’s first meeting between MLB and the Players Association tell me, @Ken_Rosenthal and @FabianArdaya.
