There hasn’t been a ton of news concerning the lockout, considering the last formal meeting between MLB and MLBPA took place on Tuesday. However, these are the latest notes you need surrounding the lockout:
Evan Drellich of The Athletic reported Friday that four owners objected to MLB’s CBT increase offer. Those owners represented the Reds, Tigers, Diamondbacks, and Angels. Despite these objections, the league continued with their offer.
Sources: Angels, Diamondbacks, Reds and Tigers owners opposed MLB luxury tax increase to $220 million. MLB also proposed including player meal money in calculation of luxury tax, which irked players.
