MLB 2022 Lockout

[donniesyracuse]

You are hilarious .. I want a legit 154 game season.. trying to minimize risk of injury to the players and you want some Frankenstein video game season comprised of two weeks of spring training and 20 double headers

I am just excited to have baseball. A couple of weeks ago I did not think it was possible. I can live with a couple of seven inning games.

Sounds like it is going to be close. The union executive council is apparently voting against it. There are 8 people on it. And each team has a voting member, so there are 30 more votes.

I think enough progress has been made that a deal is imminent. If it does not happen today, it will happen soon enough.

MLB, MLBPA agree to new CBA; season to start April 7

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement on Thursday, paving the way for the 2022 regular season to begin on April 7.

The CBA must still be ratified by both sides before it becomes official. Once that happens, Spring Training camps are expected to open on Sunday, bringing the three-month lockout to a close.

The deal came to fruition a day after MLB postponed Opening Day until April 14 in the absence of a new agreement and announced that each team’s first four series were removed from the schedule. However, as part of this agreement, a full 162-game schedule will be played, and the four series that were previously removed from the calendar will be rescheduled. The makeup games that came as a result of the delay will be rescheduled as nine-inning doubleheaders.

The new five-year CBA is expected to include increased minimum salaries, a new pre-arbitration bonus pool to reward the top young players in the game, a raise in competitive balance tax thresholds, the introduction of a universal designated hitter, the widest-ranging Draft lottery in pro sports, a system to prevent alleged service-time manipulation, limits on the number of times a player can be optioned in a season and a 12-team postseason. There will also be the evaluation of an international Draft.

“a system to prevent alleged service-time manipulation”
Very interested in hearing the details on this one

Mets, Yankees, St. Louis and Houston were the teams that voted no

No surprise with the Mets. Scherzer was pretty militant on the side of the union. And I bet he was unhappy with whatever the final outcome was for the CBT, which last I knew had a fourth level of penalty created by the weasel owners to stop Steve Cohen from trying to buy a pennant.

Not cool weasel owners. If you don't care about winning and just want to live off welfare payments from the teams that are willing to pay over the CBT level, go for it.

Free Steve Cohen. Let him spend money like there is no tomorrow!

How about like 135 games? 162 is too much imo.
