Exactly. No REAL negotiating is happening

Nah, I refuse to believe any real negotiating is happening.

How are you going to stand up there and laugh when you are announcing that games are cancelled?

"We have a payroll disparity problem." Well guess what Rob, y'all are about to have a revenue problem with ZERO butts in seats and ZERO eyes on the tv watching your product.

Manfred supposed to address media at 5:00. Here we go.

So, when they cancel games, does that mean everyone else doesn't get paid? Coaches, training staff, stadium staff, t.v. analysts. What about those t.v deals with the RSNs who now have to fill their channels with some other content that won't get nearly as many viewers. Like...what happens with all this?

It's going to take a long time for these two sides to come to an agreement with how far apart they are on big issues.

MLB Network just announced the players unanimously rejected the deal offered by MLB.

If this is true...man that is so effed up. Unbelievably convoluted.

5:00 was the new self imposed deadline correct? That gives them 2 hours.

Pending a deal gets done soon, looking promising, anyone know if T-Mobile will be doing it free again this year with T-Mobile Tuesdays? Quick Google search didn't give me an answer.

Well this was a fun few pages of discussion and updates to wake up to

GET THIS SHIT DONE

I have a feeling I won't hear any real news until I wake up in the morning.

I bet he started it with something along the lines of "Listen fuckers"

Guess they won't be getting that expanded postseason

Do you think they murdered one another?

They dumpster dove at the local Krispy Kreme

They were supposed to meet at 1:00 est. It's been over 2 hours. No news about the meeting. Wonder what kind of donuts they brought.

Well at least they can agree on one thing. Meeting time.

The players should own the teams. They are the reasons why it exists in the first place. I'd support the players making their own league.

Yeah, not like this is urgent or anything. Their asses should be meetings around the clock.

Mlb is destroying itself

I think there's beauty in both the art and science of it. You can have both and be satisfied.

This is the first time the leaders of both sides met in person since the lockout. Wow. No wonder nothing has gotten done.
