Even after Saturday’s meeting between MLB and the Players Association, there are still many question marks surrounding the start of the season. MLB presented a 130-page proposal, tackling minimum salary structure, pre-arbitration bonus pool, service time manipulation, and more. However, the proposal did not mention arbitration rules or revenue sharing, two issues that the union has wanted addressed since before the lockout began.
The Players Association was not impressed with MLB’s proposal, and we continue to wonder when we may come close to a deal.
The MLBPA came out of the meeting with MLB unimpressed by the offer from the league and there’s very little progress made between the two sides in negotiations

There still has not been an announcement to delay Spring Training, but that is expected to get underway soon, considering we are under a week away from pitchers and catchers reporting.
