Friday Bird Droppings: Where MLB negotiations are contentious again

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Welp, MLB has gone and screwed everything up again.

Just two days ago, we finally had a beacon of hope, a ray of light, an apparent cause for optimism that the owners and players could put aside their differences at last and reach an agreement for a 2020 season. Commissioner Rob Manfred and MLBPA president Tony Clark met face to face Wednesday and emerged with the supposed framework for a 60-game season at full prorated pay.

Miraculously, we had a plan...aaaaaand it’s gone. Yesterday, the players’ union sent an updated proposal to MLB for a 70-game season, a move that, apparently, greatly offended the owners.
