Will there be a season poll

[revo]

I'm no fan of the owners, but the only way there is no season is if the players refuse to play.

This post aged as well as Manfred's "100%" bravado!

this an epic remake of "Dumb and Dumber."

part of me hopes there is no season, and they all can eat a shit sandwich.

This makes up for your last post! Here here!

I spoke too soon in saying the 50ish game votes would win. I underestimated the short-sighted avarice and arrogance of the owners....perhaps. I hope it is just posturing, but fear it may not be.

The problem is that the players know that the owners are just trying to use this opportunity to weaken the MLBPA. The people actually getting hurt in this are the ancillary industries and jobs - stadium vendors, stadium employees, grounds crews - anyone that makes less than the league minimum basically.

There's not going to be a season. Not that I actually care. I walked away from baseball when I saw my first "replay" in 2014 or whenever it was. I don't know many of the players now. But it's still disappointing that baseball has come to this.

Source says no deal is close yet between MLB and MLBPA beccause the proposal was just sent by MLB. No agreement even in principle at this point.

As part of the pending agreement to play the 2020 season between MLB and the players union, the union has agreed to waive any grievance.

There is no agreement between MLB and the MLBPA. MLB knows players must get full pro rata. League wants players to waive right to grieve. Expanded playoffs a part of this. Number of games is vital. Other issues, too. There is work to be done. But a pathway to a deal does exist.

This looks like a whole lot of real time fog of war stuff. Maybe something is happening.

Reports of an agreement are false.

Right, they definitely haven't agreed on anything yet. But if they could get to 66-72 games, and according to many reports, we're almost there.

66 sounds like the winning ticket
