An update on the MLB Labor discussions

For the second straight day, MLB and the MLBPA met together to negotiate a new CBA. ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan gathered the details.

There is no deal today. There never was going to be a deal today.

The takeaway: A pre-arb bonus pool gets the best young players paid more. Players wanted it, and it's a good thing for them. Players are laughing at the $10M offer. It's far too low. Negotiations will change that.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) January 25, 2022

On the first point, it is a win for the MLBPA that a pre-arb bonus pool was agreed upon.
