For the New York Yankees and the other 29 MLB teams, it’s back to baseball and sooner than later. Last night I reported that the MLBPA (players union) voted to reject the owner’s last offer of a 60 games season, setting in motion the Commissioner’s option of imposing a season on the players. Manfred announced that he would be making an announcement soon. In a rather unusual move, he acted quickly and decisively.
He, in an apparent olive branch to the players, imposed a 60 game season rather than the threatened 40 game season. There are also some additional benefits for the players that include being paid 104% of their prorated salaries.
