Day 2 of the CBA negotiation marathon continued Tuesday, and once again, MLB and the MLBPA were not able to strike a deal.
The two sides met for nearly three hours where the players presented their response to MLB’s proposal last week, and the league was reportedly “underwhelmed” and even felt that “players took a step backwards.” On Monday, the league had made minuscule updates to their prior unimpressive proposal, so in that sense, the union’s changes Tuesday pretty much reflect the league’s.
MLB believes players took a step backwards today, bc of proposed raises to the minimum salary.
