MLBPA underwhelmed by latest MLB CBA proposal

MLB and MLBPA representatives met Saturday to discuss the league’s second (yes, second in 73 days) proposal, as we are just days from spring training camps opening for pitchers and catchers.

Rob Manfred had held a press conference on Thursday and stated that the league was “prepared to make a good faith proposal” ... however, the players were reportedly underwhelmed by what MLB had presented.
