of the regular season because the sides could not agree on a new collective bargaining agreement in time to save them.In the four days afterward, the sides flew back to their headquarters in Manhattan, chatted on the phone and met informally. On Sunday, as the owner-imposed lockout hurtled toward its 100th day and threatened to consume more regular season games, the sides sat down to talk again.
“We were hoping to see some movement in our direction to give us additional flexibility and get a deal done quickly. The players association chose to come back to us with a proposal that was worse than Monday night and was not designed to move the process forward,” MLB spokesman Glen Caplin said. “On some issues, they even went backwards. Simply put, we are deadlocked. We will try to figure out how to respond, but nothing in this proposal makes it easy.
Those changes, like all other parts of the union’s proposal, are contingent on MLB accepting all aspects of the deal — including those it rejected in the previous offer the union made. So even as the sides whittle down what they will and won’t give, shaving off a bit here and there, the sticking points remain the same — and they remain just as sticky.
