There was a lot of news yesterday about baseball and really, none of it was good.
First, there came the report that the player’s union offer of playing a 70 game season was rejected by the owners and that there would be no more negotiating anymore, meaning that a 60 game season is coming. This isn’t really speculation, as the union tweeted it out:
This is getting quite ridiculous. Very simply: the owners, however many there are that are stonewalling this, don’t want to pay the difference between 60 and 70 games. While we don’t know the entirety of the player’s offer, it seems that by ending discussions and, possibly by Monday, instituting a schedule, they are going to cost themselves a lot more money.
