Monday was an interesting, but hopefully productive, day for Major League Baseball. According to Bob Nightengale, Major League Baseball is preparing a “core economics package” that should be officially offered to the MLBPA within two weeks. This is the first significant timeline of movement on the negations front since the MLB Lockout started.
Whether or not this proposal will lead to any type of progress towards a deal remains to be seen. But at the very least, it seems some sort of effort will be made to start the pat towards a resolution. Hopefully, both sides will be open to compromise and a blueprint can be created to find a resolution in time.
