MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Let’s lead off with the big (relatively speaking) story — MLB and the player’s union sat down for a meeting on Thursday and the owners pitched their proposal for new CBA terms. Naturally, this did not go far — the meeting lasted about an hour — and the two sides remain very far apart. But we got a little insight into what the owners are seeking from this deal: expanded playoffs, an international players’ draft, elimination of the Super-Two arbitration classification, a draft pick lottery for the three worst teams, and a system to reward teams that have a top-100 prospect on their Opening Day roster who winds up earning a top five placement in any end-of-season award at any point in their arbitration years.
