Former MLB pitcher CC Sabathia believes the league is hurting the players association by trying to negotiate through the media.
Speaking on his R2C2 podcast with co-host Ryan Ruocco (h/t Brendan Kuty of NJ.com), Sabathia explained the league "put the players in a bad position" by leaking their financial proposal to the media:
"They are at a negotiation, and they do have the (end of the Collective Bargaining Agreement) coming. Nobody wants to hear all of that stuff though. We've just been missing sports and we want to get it back on.
