Representatives from Major League Baseball and the MLBPA met for the fifth straight day Friday in Jupiter, Florida. The day included multiple face-to-face meetings between the two parties and the first appearance of commissioner Rob Manfred. There were three different meetings held Friday which was the longest day of talks this week.
Per The Athletic’s Evan Drellich, the two sides made some progress in the area of the draft and potential draft lottery. The league made a proposal and the union countered in the same day. Manfred met with union head Tony Clark 1-on-1.
A little progress!
