A new entry system is not secondary, neither are restrictions on our Free Market. We want a fair deal on all the issues. MLB refused to send us an economic proposal yesterday, thats whats holding this up @MLB
I was in FL. We never offered the Intโl Draft. We did discuss it, but MLB told us they were NOT going to offer anything for it. At that point, we informed all players & agreed to no draft.
This is MLB muddying the waters & deflecting blame. Fans, pls hang in there with us.
Just remember when reading this that @MLB took 40+days to negotiate with us back in December and into January. Now they are Threatening fan and players with missed games. @MLBPA continues to negotiate in good faith.
A MLB spokesperson said that if a new CBA is not signed by Feb. 28:
โซ๏ธ 2022 regular season games will be canceled
โซ๏ธ Player pay will not be recouped
โซ๏ธ Games will not be rescheduled

@JeffPassan If the goal is to get players on the field asap- then why did it take 43 days after the lockout to even hear from MLB? Didnโt seem like a priority then! Why did we not get a counter proposal this week? Itโs all extremely tired antics/optics.
