I’ve been expecting MLB to miss games in 2022.
I’ve been expecting that since before the 2020 season, when the MLB and MLBPA had issues trying to work out a deal to play games in a shortened season.
I’ve been expecting a work stoppage after seeing the levels of MLB’s greed over the years, and their total disregard for their employees.
This is an organization of owners that have routinely fought to keep minor leaguers from having rights to argue for fair pay, with MLB relying on their anti-trust status to crush any legal opposition.
This is an organization of owners who made smart business moves to monetize the game of baseball outside of the game of baseball, and have worked ever since to avoid giving those gains to the players who make the product that is being sold.
