A League

Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reached a deal for a new collective bargaining agreement on Thursday, ending the league's ...

Numbers appeared close but there was a report that MLB wanted the MLBPA to drop a grievance filed over the 2020 season. So, right now, if the board is against, they need two-thirds of the player reps to vote for the proposal for it to pass. (The owners had pushed for a 14-team format.) The exact details are unknown, but the league had resisted the "ghost win" approach used in Japan and South Korea. After that got sorted this morning, the league has reportedly asked for the MLBPA to drop a grievance from 2020. Two on-field rules from the last two seasons, seven-inning doubleheaders and a runner on second base to begin extra innings, are not part of this new deal. The new CBA not only raised the league minimum by more than $100,000 (it was $575.5K in 2021), it introduced the pre-arbitration bonus pool, funded at $50 million. (The union had alleged the league opted to play fewer games than it could have.) (The previous record belonged to the 1990 lockout that lasted 32 days.) The way MLB's compensation system is set up, players who have fewer than three years of service time are essentially guaranteed to make no more than the league minimum, no matter how well they play. The union voted to approve a new proposal by a 26-12 margin (a simple majority, or 20 votes, was all that was required for the new agreement to pass, but it's notable that the eight members of the executive subcommittee all voted no). The owners ratified the new five-year CBA on Thursday night, voting 30-0 in favor. The two sides then met here and there, but it wasn't until late February when they began to meet multiple times, in-person, on a day-to-day basis. The owners, for their part, prioritized an expanded postseason, an international draft, and the power to make rule changes, including, potentially, installing a pitch clock and larger bases, as well as restricting defensive positioning.

The overdue agreement between owners and players on Thursday happened after a 99-day lockout; after a series of false deadlines; after more reckless behavior ...

Major League Baseball must embrace its diversity of cultures, from the flexing to the hurt feelings. The league needs to immediately embrace a new era and a new energy. But the sport remains paralyzed by a lack of trust and cooperation. And that’s a shame. And in the end, the labor dispute amounts to no harm, no foul. Especially for those who are craving the romance, poetry and nostalgia of baseball.

There will be a baseball season, and a full, 162-game one at that.

But I think I've been more surprised at how talented and humble the boys are. "We're sending a lot of rugby league things over there to put a smile on people's faces. "But I think I've been more surprised at how talented and humble the boys are. - then that's great." "They're right up there," Hopoate said. "He's such a good bloke to be with and talk with, and that's just an example of the type of players and people the club breeds, and that's something I noticed straight away."
