So, forget July 4. Just tell us, oh squabbling parties, how low do you want to go? A 50-game season that would carry little credibility one year after the Washington Nationals started 19-31 in their first 50 games, only to win the World Series? A canceled season that would result in the sport going dark for nearly 18 months, diminishing income for all parties, wrecking players’ careers and deflating owners’ precious resale values in the process?
Per Ron Blum, players say owners are “depriving America of baseball games” over money dispute.
From Matt Snyder, owners planning a call today to discuss negotiations.
