Monday is the MLB-stated deadline to have a labor agreement in place to not lose games for the 2022 regular season.
Thus you would think that rhetoric like this would not be helpful toward such an agreement:
MLB today indicated a willingness to miss a month of games and took a more threatening tone than yesterday, sources briefed on the day’s first meeting between MLB and the Players Association tell me, @Ken_Rosenthal and @FabianArdaya. Full context of conversation not yet known.

I cannot express how upset and disappointed I am to see this sort of thing come from the owners’ side.
