I know better than to believe twitter, but I admit that I was duped. Late on Monday night as the blue checkmarks started to break the news that MLB was going to extend their self-imposed deadline to cancel games and continue negotiating with the MLBPA for one more day, I almost felt some hope that maybe, perhaps, the dread I’ve felt about the league and players’ ability to successfully negotiate a CBA this year might have been overblown. After all, when push came to shove and the clock was really ticking on missing games, it appeared the two sides might, finally, be willing to get down to brass tacks and work out a deal.
There’s a good lesson to be learned from the MLB and MLBPA news conferences
