On Monday, the Players Association met with Major League Baseball’s owners to try and make some progress on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which needs to be agreed upon if there’s going to be baseball this season.
It doesn’t seem like Commissioner Rob Manfred was in attendance based on Evan Drellich’s tweet this morning:
MLB’s contingent has arrived at the MLBPA’s office: deputy commissioner Dan Halem, labor committee chair/Rockies owner Dick Monfort, EVP Morgan Sword and counsel Patrick Houlihan

As for what happened today, the players dropped part of their proposal which was implementing an age-based free agency system—allowing players who are 30.
