Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 4182640, member: 312"] The owners objective the entire time has been to break the union. Initial position wanting to lower the CBT threshold from $210M to $180 and drastically increase penalties for exceeding were a non starter. And MLB blew off all discussion for Dec and Jan. There will be no serious negotiation until the owners see if the MLBPA will cave after missing pay checks for April. So no opening day until late May. Hope I'm wrong but I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
