It’s, uh, been quite a decade this week for baseball. Last Wednesday, Rob Manfred said there would 100 percent be a baseball season. Then on Monday, he said he wasn’t sure. Then on Tuesday, he and Tony Clark met face to face and then on Wednesday it was announced there was a deal for a 60-game season. Only it wasn’t a deal, as far as the MLBPA was concerned. It was just a proposal. What’s happened, from my perspective, is that the players called the owners’ bluff with their very good “when and where” social media campaign. Then the owners, potentially inadvertently, called the players’ bluff with a proposal for a season that offered prorated pay at a higher number of games than any previous proposal.
Lesky’s Notes: We have a deal...err a proposal
