MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: The MLBPA made a significant proposal to the league yesterday, and the noise after the meetings was not positive. The owners reportedly “reacted badly” to the proposal, which saw the union attempt to compromise with the league on a number of issues, including the arbitration system and the CBT. In turn, the players’ side was reportedly furious. It seemed like there was some momentum building midweek in the talks between the two sides, but the owners refusal to accept anything other than a resounding win for their side looks like it could ground things to a halt yet again.
