Last Monday baseball owners imposed a 60-game season on the players to end the pandemic shutdown.
Last Tuesday the Los Angeles Angels revealed plans for a 153-acre, mixed-use development adjacent to Angel Stadium.
It’s no wonder the rift between players and owners is worsening.
As the business of baseball expanded in recent years, players felt left behind. So they weren’t eager to grant concessions during the failed relaunch bargaining.
On one hand, baseball owners have cited immediate financial distress due to the shutdown. Angels owner Arte Moreno aggressively furloughed employees, including his area scouts ahead of the MLB draft.
