Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer is tired of the back-and-forth between Major League Baseball owners and players as they continuously fail to reach an agreement for a 2020 season with the COVID-19 pandemic looming as a backdrop to negotiations.
Bauer suggested continuing down this path is "absolute death for this industry" and marveled at the ability for the sport to somehow make the COVID-19 situation even worse.
He also suggested the extensive negotiations and impasses have done "irreparable damage" to the sport and said the two sides would be better off in an extended fight following the 2021 season when there will be a new collective bargaining agreement that lasts for five years.
