MLB Roundup 2/7: More tension between league and players

Another day in this historically quiet offseason has passed, and there is yet another bit of tension in the air. I’m going to level with you, even as someone who is fairly clearly leaning towards one side of the issue, I’m just so tired of this. I want my baseball back, dammit.
