Tuesday Bird Droppings: MLB negotiations are picking up pace, maybe

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

We’re nearly two months into the MLB lockout and there is still no imminent accord between the league and the Players’ Association on a new collective bargaining agreement. But if you squint, there are signs of progress.

Yesterday, representatives from the MLBPA — including player rep and former Orioles pitcher Andrew Miller — met with four league officials for about two hours, the first meeting between the two sides since MLB offered a few proposals Jan. 13. According to The Athletic’s Evan Drellich, the players rejected “most if not all” of MLB’s most recent proposals, including a three-team draft lottery and the elimination of arbitration for Super Two players.
