The MLBPA backed off it's request for arbitration for all players with 2+ years of service today, requesting instead 80% of players go into the system. Additionally, the union requested an increase in its pre-arb bonus pool ask from $100 million to $115 million.

I don't really see an agreement happening soon.

Yeah these are tough in good times and the leaguewide hit of 2020 with Owners getting demo'd means it isn't good times. Will there be a season is the question and what will it look like?

Apparently the MLB has told the MLBPA that they have until the 28th to come to terms on a deal for the season to start on time

Derek Jeter is stepping down as CEO of the Miami Marlins, sources tell ESPN.

Couldn't blame the previous regime for their lack of financial success anymore. Lol

MLB went from the talks were productive to we could miss a month of games in the last day.

Progress being made. Still work to do.
So there will be a 12-team postseason pool and the owners have agreed to have similar luxury tax penalties as the last CBA

Current plan is to stay in the stadium and keep talking until a deal is done. Determination to finish this exists.

Progress is great. Previous meetings have been 10-15 minutes and they just left. Please get it done.

good. 14 teams is too many and takes too long. Cold weather baseball is stupid.
Its a no brainer on raising the minimum salary. Longest season of all sports and least amount of league minimum.
Shorten the pre-season by a week while you're at it. Way too long.

The players have now officially voted down the MLB" best and final" offer. No deal.

I predicted this outcome a while back. Negotiations are tough in good times and after 2020 it is not good times. Owners were in the red and players took fractional pay. Of course now it turns the other way as opening day appears delayed and games will likely be missed. Players naturally want to play and owners it won't take long for them to panic once the games and revenue start to disappear.
