I’m not going to go over the shouting match (to use a polite term) between commissioner Rob Manfred and Players’ Association chief Tony Clark yesterday as Al has already written a very good piece summarizing yesterday’s developments. I’m just glad that I wasn’t writing for BCB from 1981 to 1995.
- Bob Nightengale restates what happened yesterday but adds that we may be seeing decades of labor peace go up in smoke in short order.
- Agent Scott Boras sounded off on MLB’s response to the MLBPA and notes that he is seeing parallels to the collusion days of the 1980s.
