Good morning, Birdland!
Welp, we remain without a new CBA between the league and the players. The two sides met again on Tuesday, this time for about 90 minutes, and little progress was made. Spring training is supposed to start in two weeks. In all likelihood, that won’t be happening and opening day is on the chopping block next.
The Athletic’s Evan Drellich is a must-follow for updates on this. He is reporting that the players relented slightly on a couple of their economic concerns. They also floated the idea of draft pick compensation as a reward for teams not manipulating service time.
