MLB, union meeting again with players set to make counteroffer

Attorneys and accountants report Thursday.

A number of sources confirmed that representatives from MLB and the MLB Gamers Affiliation will meet Thursday to collectively discount as soon as once more, as first reported by USA Right now. The gamers will take their flip at a counteroffer after they left Saturday’s session, wherein the house owners proposed a brand new package deal, underwhelmed.

With spring coaching unofficially delayed — the official announcement should come quickly, with the primary exhibition video games scheduled for Feb. 26 — the 2 sides face a smooth deadline of Feb. 28 to shut on a brand new Fundamental Settlement with out suspending the beginning of the common season, which is scheduled for March 31. They face a frightening process, as large gulfs exist on almost all the core financial points, from arbitration eligibility to income sharing to the minimal wage to a draft lottery (to fight tanking) to a bonus pool for profitable younger gamers to the policing of service-time manipulation to the variety of groups that must be eligible for the playoffs.

The one key areas of settlement to this point are the growth of the designated hitter to the Nationwide League and the elimination of direct compensation without spending a dime brokers.
