Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY SportsMarch 6 - Major League Baseball described negotiations with its locked-out players as "deadlocked" after a meeting on Sunday during which it said the union presented a proposal that "backtracked" on some issues.
But MLB, which said it was hoping see some movement in its direction in order to gain additional flexibility to get a deal done quickly, walked away from the meeting unimpressed."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," said MLB spokesman Glen Caplin.
The MLB Players Association did not immediately respond when asked by Reuters for a comment on the latest talks but according to reports one official denies the league's assertion that the union moved backwards.
