As a new hope for fans and the media, it was revealed that the Major League Baseball (MLB) and the MLB Players Union (MLBPA) will meet this sunday March 06. Both parties will resume negotiations in search of a new agreement that puts an end to the bosses’ strike; this after the cancellation of Opening Day was announced.
After the ‘bucket of cold water’ that the Major Leagues received last week when it became known that Opening Day has been cancelled, the news has arrived that MLB and MLBPA will meet again to negotiate.
Journalist Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that among the board’s plans is for the Players Association to respond to offers the League has made in writing in recent days.
It is no secret that the largest gap in the negotiations is on the issue of the competitive balance tax (CBT) in which, although there has been an increase, it has not been enough for the Union to accept.
Another situation in which Major League Baseball and the MLBPA still cannot agree is the number of teams in the Playoffs; That is why it is expected that Sunday will be discussed in this regard.
