We’re closing in on 100 days of the owner-imposed lockout, and unfortunately the baseball world, alas, has become rather predictable. Major League Baseball presents a disingenuous offer for the new Collective Bargaining Agreement to the union that is dead on arrival, the Player’s Association counters by making a concession or two, the league reveals through the media that they consider the union’s proposal an insult of some kind, and nothing gets done. We’re a cross between Groundhog Day and Major League.
Fortunately for us, there’s a rather straightforward solution that might just be the key to forging a breakthrough.
