2021-22 CBA Negotiation/Lockout Thread (DEAL IS AGREED TO)

[ScottT]

Time to start unfollowing certain people.  I don't need to see everything a player says about negotiations multiple times.   I'd almost rather become a wordler.   I guess I get why players start bitching on Twitter.  So, the media will retweet it to death, and boom...  we have villians.   31 of them.

“Players are ready to make a fair/mutually beneficial deal.”

Bro, if what the players offered was actually considered fair and mutually beneficial by the owners, a deal would be in place.

the last two years of baseball and soon to be a third have really sucked.  Covid shortened season.  Mike Trout out for almost the whole year.  And now a lockout because owners and players are greedy dickheads which most likely results in another shortened season.

It's because of your AJ-esque jinx post.

The players are reportedly now wanting a guaranteed seven-year deal. . . But with an opt out after two (if they think they can do a little better at that point).

It was a joke

I'm still surprised at the rumors of both sides considering tying comp to WAR.  If that happens, why even bother with the arb process at that point?

Why is the definition of a fair deal tied to whether or not the owners would have already agreed to it?

One side proclaiming it is fair doesn’t make it fair.

So if we call a proposal from the players "unfair" what do we call the refusal to make a counter offer from the owners?

Let's not forget that any offer the players make is an agreement to set limitations on the free market, which universally benefit the owners.
