You guys, we made it.
BASEBALL. IS. ALL. THE. WAY. BACK!!!!!
After 99 agonizing days of a league-instituted lockout, we have finally reached a deal between MLB and the MLBPA, after the players voted to accept MLB’s counteroffer on Thursday. Who would have thought we would reach a deal today? Not me!
Jeff Passan broke the news this afternoon, sending baseball Twitter into a frenzy (for the second time of the day, pour one out for NFT Jeff Passan) by confirming that MLBPA had accepted the league’s offer.
Wednesday was an entire saga of negotiations, rejected offers, blame-shifting, and blown deadlines, but in the end, baseball prevailed, and we will have baseball back this spring.
