Four days straight of negotiations, with four left before Monday’s deadline. Then, we will suffer the wrath of MLB and its plan to cancel games and chip away at the 2022 season.
The league and union met for nearly four hours on Thursday, where the MLBPA made additional concessions, specifically focusing around service time manipulation and the draft lottery. As you can imagine, the player changes were minute, the owners haven’t budged, and there doesn’t seem to be any momentum going into Friday.
Meetings are done. Progress was minimal. There are four days left for MLB and the MLBPA to get a new labor deal or regular-season games are going to be canceled.
