Doc's Morning Line: MLB talks lag; I'm starting not to care
OWNERS AND PLAYERS AND NONSENSE, OH MY. . . MLB players yesterday proposed an 89-game season at full, pro-rated pay that they knew owners would reject. Why did they submit it and make it public? Because they still believe there is a PR war to be won.
Maybe with you. Not with me.
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong. And everybody’s wrong. ESPN:
An MLB source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN's Karl Ravech that the proposal is a nonstarter.
"Out of concern for the players' health, extending the regular season past Sept. 27 won't happen," the source told Ravech. "There is a window of playing between 60 [and] 70 regular-season games, but pay still remains an issue."
