Good morning, Birdland!
The owner-imposed lockout of MLB players has reached a boiling point. The union rejected the league’s request for a federal mediator, and the players took to Twitter to voice a singular request...let’s get back to the negotiating table.
I won’t pretend to know all of the minutiae of labor negotiations, but it certainly feels like what we are seeing play out is exactly what the league had hoped for all along. They would offer the players scraps, drag their feet, and then cry fowl, hoping that public perception would eventually be on their side.
