Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re getting down to the nitty-gritty in MLB labor negotiations. Nearly three months into the lockout, after weeks of near radio-silence punctuated by the occasional face-to-face meeting, the league and the MLBPA are finally picking up the pace of negotiations. The two sides met at the bargaining table in Jupiter, Fla., yesterday for what’s expected to be a full week of talks.
Monday’s meeting lasted about five hours, a clear improvement over the most recent discussion last Thursday, which was barely 15 minutes long. Reportedly, though, the sides didn’t make any significant strides toward a deal.
