The league and the MLBPA are sitting down for another pair of bargaining sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Per MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the meetings will cover, in theory, less argumentative topics.
MLB leaders and the union are expected to restart talks on core economic at the end of the week or early next week but other important yet less contentious issues are on the agenda today and tomorrow. Those include the drug policies, international play and many more items.
It will hopefully be a productive intermission from highly contentious topics. Including, but not limited: the luxury tax, pre-arbitration compensation, minimum salaries, and service-time manipulation.
