A 2020 Padres season may be close, but the roller coaster that has been the negotiations between MLB owners and the MLBPA continues.

After the reports surfaced that MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA President Tony Clark met face-to-face in Arizona, I think that raised several eyebrows. Especially coming on the heels of the MLBPA rejecting the owners’ last proposal and indicating that negotiations were over.

“Tell us where and when.”

That’s been the mantra of the players since then, basically telling the league to implement a shortened season with prorated salaries.
