If the Chicago Cubs and the rest of Major League Baseball are to take the field this year, a number of things will have to align perfectly in coming weeks.
We know that revenue discussions and player salaries remain a major sticking point between Major League Baseball and the Player’s Association. That being said, on day one of talks, the topic was player safety and health – a strong first step, especially for several Chicago Cubs players.
That makes sense. It’s something the league and the players should agree on: taking extraordinary measures to ensure player health and safety is common ground, giving talks some positive momentum right out of the gate.
