BASEBALL IS COMING BACK!
It’s hard to believe it nearly didn’t happen. If you’ve been under a rock, here’s the quick recap:
After four consecutive offers by MLB to pay the players 50 games worth of salary in the regular season (no matter how many games occurred), the players demanded to be told “When & Where” to show up for a season to be mandated by the Commissioner. No more bargaining, let’s just play.
In response, MLB made a fifth offer of 60 games at full pay, trying to bring the MLB Players’ Association back to the negotiating table.
