Good morning, Camden Chatters.
We’re nearly two months into the MLB lockout and there is still no imminent accord between the league and the Players’ Association on a new collective bargaining agreement. But if you squint, there are signs of progress.
Yesterday, representatives from the MLBPA — including player rep and former Orioles pitcher Andrew Miller — met with four league officials for about two hours, the first meeting between the two sides since MLB offered a few proposals Jan. 13. According to The Athletic’s Evan Drellich, the players rejected “most if not all” of MLB’s most recent proposals, including a three-team draft lottery and the elimination of arbitration for Super Two players.
