Major League Baseball locked out its players roughly a month and a half ago, and in the time since then both sides have barely so much as sent one another scathing DMs from burner accounts. Hell, I think I’ve had more correspondence with Delbert from Ludlow about why Kyle Farmer deserves a contract extension in those six weeks than Rob Manfred has had with Tony Clark.
That said, yesterday saw MLB present its first ‘real’ labor proposal to the players, and you’ll get the gist from the report filed by ESPN’s Jeff Passan that the players would’ve rather hit their big thumbs with a hammer than consider it in any serious form or fashion.
