It SOUNDS like the International Draft is the last big hurdle to clear to finally end this shit.

I want to wake up like Willie Mays Hayes. To the sounds of Spring Training.

We will know by morning
Hoping the fact they're preparing a statement for the morning means good news. If they're doing this just to say "No" again, I think they're gonna lose a lot of people and it'll be a disaster.

Apparently the big issue was with an international draft. Owners wanted it, but players didn’t and were willing to lose games over it. I know it’s common to side with players over owners, but the players don’t give a shit when minor league players in America make less than minimum wage, yet we are supposed to believe they care about 13 year old’s in Latin America who are being exploited by the very system the players want to keep? It’s BS.
Both sides want a win. They don’t care about getting the game back on the field. They are coming up with BS reasons to miss games.

So as a casual observer of this lockout. How long are we looking at here guys for this to go on for?

Yeah, I’m now starting to think there might not be a season. I heard a baseball writer say, today, that the longer this goes, it becomes a matter of the calender. Because, at a certain point, it does become impossible to play all 162. So the owners will say that they won’t pay a player’s full salary if they don’t play a full season. To which the players will (rightly) say that they didn’t impose the lockout and should be paid in full. And I’ll give you one guess how that all plays out. What an absolute disaster.

Shiiiit, I think this lockout is going WAY better than I thought it would 1-2 years ago. These sides f***ing hated each other. And now you have owners making 5 BS deadlines, blowing through them, and offering a little more most times. I thought the owners were gonna rake them over the coals and the players were going to find more resolve in their hatred of the owners. It seems to be more posturing than real animus. Both sides are already very close. There will be baseball in May, so it won't even be that long of a lockout.

This f***ing sucks. I had tickets to the Braves home opener and was pumped about seeing them get their rings and what not. I bought them through Seat Geek, so now I'm just hoping I have a prayer of getting a refund.

Hope you get that refund dude, must be gutting to finally see an Atlanta team get the job done and now this.
It's the fans who I feel sorry for. In particular Angels fans, who have two once in a generation talents that are just being wasted, and Oakland fans, who at this rate might not even see their team play in the city again.

I love labor negotiations. One day, the two sides hate each other and will never agree, 5 mins later they reach a tentative agreement.

I’ve been very frustrated with this situation, but Baseball is my all time favorite sport, I miss it dearly. So I’m very happy about this!

Change coming to the game this year: Universal DH
Changes coming to the game next year: Pitch clock, outlawing of extreme defensive shifts

Now that baseball is back I can say just how much I hate them getting rid of the shift. To all the batters who cry about it maybe try to not be so one dimensional at the plate and maybe just maybe they wouldn't put the shift on you

Also expanding the playoffs to 12 teams, is well it's not something I wanted or care for but fringe playoff team owners want some of that sweet Oct money so of course they're gonna push to expand. Also have they announced how the new playoffs are gonna be formatted?
