League & Union Reportedly "Closing In" On Deal For 2020 Season

[ScottT]

Two days ago every player was asking when and where. Every media member was reposting.

Rod Carew makes a suggestion and he’s spot on.

I feel like everyone else is taking crazy pills.

I'm also sure someone would take offense to that comment 

What a time to be breathing

Players agents have a huge stake in this. They need to temporarily stop their greed.

Players want extra housing allowances and to collaborate on broadcast enhancements

Players can negotiate for more but don’t say you’re all about the fans and say “when and where!“ if you still want more money. 

[Stradling]

The “when and where” was when they were done negotiating and figured the commissioner would implement the 50 game season.  Once they offered full prorated pay for 60 games they figured they’d continue to negotiate.   Then again I was criticized for calling this a negotiation.  

[ScottT]

Ok

Jealousy is ugly on you Scottt

So they were getting 20% more than they would have if they had the implemented 50 game schedule, and are now asking for more on top of that.

The scott/stradling battle is slowly creeping up to the Claude/stradling battle.

I don’t think it’s jealousy. It’s disgust at this point. I hope the owners pull the plug and tell the players to pound sand until 2021. Ridiculous when and where.

Or it’s 52 less games than the originally wanted to play

[Stradling]

So only the players can be greedy?  What a crock of shit.

But I thought they were fine with the 50, which prompted “when and where”. They get more money and games than the 50 they were said to be ok with, and are now asking for more on top. 
 

I don’t disagree with you in that they’re just negotiating for what they can get and what they think is “fair” or whatever, it just comes off bad after so many of them went to social media and said tell us when and where.

So there’s a difference between negotiating and living up to an agreement, something the owners don’t understand. 
The owners finally made a counter offer in good faith, so the players countered in good faith.

I think we’ll just have to agree that we’re seeing how the players look after saying when and where differently. I’m not talking about the negotiation process, I’m talking about public (my) perception of the players as a whole.

That’s fair.  So if you were Tony Clark would you have just accepted this 60 game offer?  Even if it’s the first good faith offer?

Pathetic

Come on International Baseball League. Let it be and put the long standing monopolizing MLB to rest.
