Possibility of signing an employment contract by tomorrow: opinions are divided

This afternoon, the MLB Players’ Association and team owners will meet for the seventh straight day. The goal? Agree on the terms of a new employment contract.

Will it be easy? No. After all, yesterday the players’ proposal caused the bosses to back down and no noticeable progress was made.

Union negotiations: the meeting of the day went very badly

We don’t know if there will be a meeting tomorrow. Yes, the start of the season is more than ever in danger.

When we notice the way things are progressing, we realize that everyone is far from an agreement.

Evan Drellich meanwhile laid a paper to mention that thinking that the season would start on time was never logical.

Ken Rosenthal, for his part, does not believe that Rob Manfred was convincing in front of his bosses (the owners of the 30 major league baseball teams) in order to make them understand that cutting games was serious.

I’d recommend the paper, especially in light of Rosenthal being trumped by Manfred at MLB Network.

But despite everything, not everything is negative and there are still people who think that within 36 hours, an agreement could be signed.

Jon Heyman tweeted that a member of the negotiations believes it might be possible to see a deal happen in time.

Obviously, nothing is assured since the stakes are still high.

And besides, we must not forget that this reflects the feeling of a single person. In the eyes of others, this is not the case.

At the level of the luxury tax threshold, there is still a big gap, but an agreement at $225 or $230 million could take place.

Note that the big clubs that will spend a lot will do so, regardless of the threshold set.

Are the players going to falter so as not to lose too much salary and service time? Will it be the owners? A happy medium? That remains to be seen.

Without wanting to play the pessimist, I do not believe that the season will have 162 games. I hope so, but I’m under no illusions and I’ll believe it when I see it.
