"This defensive lockout was necessary because the Players Association’s vision for Major League Baseball would threaten the ability of most teams to be competitive. It’s simply not a viable option. From the beginning, the MLBPA has been unwilling to move from their starting position, compromise, or collaborate on solutions."More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Until the owners provide some real resolution to fix their bad behavior toward young players, I hope the union lets them stew...and take biblical losses again this year, if necessary.I'm just here for the baseball.

There’s an article on MLB Trade Rumors that addresses the DFA issue — those players are indeed in limbo, frozen like Han Solo in carbonite. They’re not on a 40-man roster but technically still in the organization even though they may be in the outs, but they’re not free agents either.

Funny that MLB.com is also affected, and they can't publish any stories regarding current major leaguers. LOLOLOL. So if you want to read a story regarding that hot player in the news, Minnie Minoso, that's your place to go.

Originally posted by revo View PostWhat about MLB Network? I tuned in today for a little bit, they interviewed Costas about the lockout, then discussed Hall of Fame prospects. I assume they’re under the same moratorium?
The licensing fees are the issue with the web site as there is a connection between the players and owners/management.Follow me on Twitter @ToddZola

Something I learned in a mediation course a long time ago - as long as one side is more interested in "winning" than in resolving the conflict, no resolution is possible. I'm guessing that this will go well into Spring Training before that happens.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by revo View PostAre you referring to Inciarte? If so, only players currently in the MLBPA are affected by the lockout, not minor leaguers (i.e. those not being added to the 40-man roster). So those players can be signed to minor league contracts and even be traded.
