MLB and the MLBPA are negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement.

Spring Training games will start no earlier than March 12.

Each MLB club's first two series of originally scheduled regular season games will also not be played.

Negotiations have ended for the immediate future and the sides are expected to leave Florida.

Major differences are the competitive balance tax thresholds, the minimum salary, and the size of a new pre-arbitration bonus pool.

I'm not happy about this...damn

Billionaire's vs millionaire's. Fans paying $17 per beer or $13.50 a hot dog.
I love baseball and have been eagerly awaiting opening day but these guys can all kiss my ass.

The Players Association came back with a proposal that was worse..... on some issues, they even went backwards.

MLB has offered a CBT threshold beginning at $220 million, increasing to $230 million by the final year of a new CBA. The MLBPA wants to begin with a $238 million threshold, rising to $263 million by year five.

Simply put, they are deadlocked.

No further meetings between the two sides are currently scheduled.

The players want to be paid for all 162 games this season no matter how many games are cancelled.
Greed upon greed. Where at the bargaining table are the fans represented?

Imagine if fans stopped going to games and purchasing merchandise until beverage prices came down to $5/each?
Or ticket prices came down 65%? Oh, to imagine.

All I wanted was a complete 162 game season, without the pandemic and without the lame pandemic rules.
They couldn't even wait a year to be greedy.

I hope the season is cancelled and they all go broke. Who am I kidding. None of them ever need to work again.

Opening day moved back. I officially don't care. I hope each and everyone involved in this steps on LEGO this morning.

Blame the greedy owners, players were getting totally screwed until Curt Flood lawsuit, unions protect workers under the capitalist system

I dropped baseball after the last strike. That was it for me. I didn’t think people watched it anymore. It’s such a slow sport.

Everyone is cheating in one or another anyway in todays game.

Toronto Blue Jays start their opening game today hosting the Texas Rangers.

Going to be nice to see the Jays play their home games in Toronto, as opposed to last year when they had to played in Dunedin Florida and Buffalo NY.
