Good morning.
- We’ve been complaining for over a month that Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association weren’t even talking, but now MLB has put a new proposal on the table and it didn’t really help. The players characterized their reaction to MLB’s proposal as “disappointed.” MLB keeps making offers that they claim will benefit the players but that the MLBPA believes actually benefits ownership or does nothing. Replacing arbitration with a statistical formula is one idea that MLB won’t give up, even if they were willing to limit it in this proposal.
