BFMD Episode 172 - Manfred Cancels Opening Day

After 10 days of negotiations in Florida and no new deal between Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, MLB has officially cancelled Opening Day and the first two series of the season.  The blame almost solely rests on the owners and MLB, with the MLBPA being far more flexible in their asks during negotiations. Do not believe the MLB PR spinning. They are the ones who imposed the lockout and they are the ones who could lift it at any time.  Justin and Patrick give their thoughts, read through media and player reactions and quotes, and provide you with the information that you need to know.  We'll be back as news hits the wire, and will be covering the Blue Jays' minor league affiliates until MLB resumes.
