Major League Baseball and players make a deal...

[Maroon Eagle]

BREAKING: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor deal, sources tell ESPN. While it still needs to be ratified by both parties, that is expected to be a formality, and when it is: Baseball is back.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 10, 2022

 

[Mr. Cook]

But college baseball has been back for a few weeks...

I didn't realize we had so many Longhorns fans here. **

Weird. The MLBPA executive committee was shooting this down the whole time. Voted 8-0 against it. The teams voted 26-4 for the deal overriding the committee.
Here's the list of ******** and ******* teams who don't want to play ball.

8 committee members trying to torpedo the deal:

Scherzer
Lindor
Andrew Miller
Gerrit Cole
James Paxton
Marcus Semian
Jason Castro
Zack Britton


The 4 teams who voted against the deal:
Mets
Yankees
Cardinals
Astros

Coming back to defend the dropped 3rd strike rule, IMO...

It's interesting to me. The 8 members of the MLBPA executive committee voted no. Then 26 of the 30 teams went against them and voted yes.


The players are clearly not happy with their union leaders.

No matter their number, they ALL hate Tanner Leggett.

Hopefully they won't follow through with banning the shift. It's not really baseball anymore if you can't put your 7 fielders anywhere you want.

I used to kinda like Joey Gallo until I read an article where he was whining so hard about shifts, and the writer pointed out that he could just lay down a few bunts to prove he can, and teams would have to stop doing big shifts on him, and he was just totally uninterested in that idea.

I'm shocked the two sides managed to reach a deal just in the nick of time to save a full season, therefore not losing any revenue for either side. I never expected that. **
