Daily News | MLB unimpressed by players’ latest proposal, all but guaranteeing the season won’t start on time
Never mind whether Major League Baseball and the Players Association will come together on a collective bargaining agreement in time to avoid the cancellation of regular-season games.
Since talks resumed last month — after a 42-day hiatus from the owners’ Dec. 2 enforcement of a lockout — the players’ proposals have been mostly narrow in scope, tackling two or sometimes only one issue at a time. But the players see many of the core economic issues as interconnected. And after a lengthy Zoom meeting that included all 30 player representatives, they changed their approach and made a wider-ranging proposal.
But while the owners moved only $1 million on the CBT, they refused to budge at all on making more than 22% of two-year players eligible for salary arbitration, a level that has not moved since 2013, even though the players on Saturday brought down their request from 75% of two-year players to 35%.
