[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1541082, member: 26283"] The owners made the calculation that not playing was better than playing unless they got an absurdly great deal from the players. They could have recognized the level of distrust among the players due to the way the recent CBA has gone over the last few years and made a realistic offer to the players, one that the players would have at least had to think about. But, no, they made an offer that they knew was DOA. Even if they can negotiate down the vast chasm between the parties, there’s functionally no way they have the time to do it in order to start the season in early July. Unfortunately, with the present CBA expiring after 2021, I think this is just the first battle in what’s going to be a long war. I don’t think we’re going to see much baseball over the next three years and I think MLB will look radically different once everything is resolved come 2023 or so. [/QUOTE]
