Major League Baseball (MLB) acknowledged that the negotiations taking place in Jupiter, Florida (USA) with the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) have suffered a setback, but that at the end of this Tuesday afternoon they will have a definitive proposal.
“We thought there was a way to reach an agreement last night. We agreed to exhaust all options. We will make our best offer to the players at 5:00 in the afternoon,” explained an MLB spokesman, who specified that it will be fair. for both parties to the conflict.
The owners, who had set Monday as the deadline to achieve a negotiation that ends the work stoppage that the players have maintained since last December 2, without the need to cancel games, extended that deadline until this Tuesday at 05:00 pm (local time) 10:00 (GMT), so the time to reach an agreement is getting shorter and shorter.
The negotiation process last Monday lasted more than 17 hours, reaching the early hours of this Tuesday, agreeing to establish a total of 12, with the right to play in the Major League postseason.
As explained by the spokesman, the difference that has been presented this Tuesday is that last night the players did not present a proposal on the luxury tax, for which they granted the term until this day, but the unionists have made requests outside the context that was had raised and “inconsistent,” he said.
Now it only remains to wait if the owners, who expressed their willingness to lose the entire first month of the season, will enforce their warning to cancel regular season games, scheduled to start on March 31, if they do not reach an agreement at 5:00 in the afternoon and deduct from the salary of the players, each of those games.
