Four owners found the “final offer” too generous to the players

If there’s one thing that’s clear, it’s that the MLBPA considers the lockout to be the fault of the bosses. It’s normal to think like that in a negotiation process, of course.

But clearly the players want justice. Whether it is by being paid despite the lack of matches or by resuming canceled games, players want to regain their achievements.

Players want to be paid full price and resume canceled matches

We do not seem at all close to witnessing an agreement between the players and the management of the MLB.

But it goes further – and it could complicate the negotiations.

Why? Because players want to accumulate service time over 186 days (a baseball calendar year), even if the season won’t start on time.

Take the example of Pete Alonso and Shohei Ohtani. Both players arrived in baseball on the first day of a season and are therefore two weeks away from logging enough service time to become a free agent in two years.

Obviously, I don’t think I need to tell you that the problem of trust between the two parties, which has always bothered the players, has just taken on even greater proportions.

You also know what can slowly kill baseball and destroy the bond of trust between players and bosses?

The fact that four owners did not want to submit the “final offer” to the players on Tuesday because they found it too generous towards the players. Too generous…

Remember that 23 owners out of 30, or more than 3/4, will eventually have to vote in favor of a collective agreement for it to pass.

Tuesday’s final offer was unanimously declined by the players. This is to be expected since player requests and boss offers were ridiculously on two different planets.

We do not get along and the players are asking for compensation, which will have to be negotiated and which is causing the negotiations to roll back.

Will there be regular season baseball in April? The question is valid.
