I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.

It’s time for another lockout update as the players and owners of Major League Baseball have met for two days to try to hash out a new collective bargaining agreement. The update is they are still very far apart on the major issues.

The players want a ton of money for pre-arbitration players and for a much larger percentage of players to be arbitration eligible after two years. Neither of those is going to happen. The owners may come up a little on the pre-arbitration pool but it’s never going to come close to $100 million and they are never going to relinquish arbitration control of more players. If that’s what the union wants they may as well cancel the season now.

The players have already gotten a lot done. They should push for just a tiny bit more money in the pool and get the deal done. Enough is enough.
