If *either side wanted baseball it’d be happening.

In March, the players and MLB owners agreed to prorated salaries for a pandemic-shortened season, but owners have since attempted to get the union to accept prorated pay at varying percentages or an offer that included revenue shares.

MLB insider Jon Heyman has reported some around the league are prepared for commissioner Rob Manfred to exercise a portion of the March agreement that allows him to schedule a campaign that includes as few as between 48 and 54 regular-season games.

As ESPN's Jeff Passan explained earlier this month, that amount of liquid could leave many players parched and angry.

It's a game of charades. The players knew that a second round of negotiations would be needed

The Post, however, has obtained a March 26 email from an MLB lawyer to top league officials that documents the substance of talks between two MLB officials and two MLBPA officials from earlier that morning. The email covers seven points, including that MLB explained to the union officials that MLB would need a second negotiation if games were not played in front of fans to determine pay and claims that union officials understood that concept.

Thus, the email seemingly offers evidence that the union was aware that further talks were potentially necessary.

Perhaps a video where he tells his kid if he does his chores he will get his allowance but if daddy has to lose money because of a global pandemic, they have to share the loss would be closer to the truth

From MLBPA letter: "If it is your intention to unilaterally impose a season, we again request that you inform us and our members of how many games you intend to play and when and where players should report. It is unfair to leave players and the fans hanging at this point."

From MLBPA letter: "We demand that you inform us of your plans by close of business on Monday, June 15."

This isn't to suggest Monday will be the end of this and we'll know what sort of baseball season there will be, but the players are asking for a season and asking by Monday.

And here we go 54 game season and a strike / lockout next year. Sad

If that doesn't get things rolling nothing will.

Players oppose it because of super markets like LA and NY

Actually, they call them super markets in New York . . .
and grocery stores in L.A. (and Phoenix).
