Good article from Fangraphs today on this exact situation. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/mlb-takes-unusual-negotiating-tack/

Well put...there should be more urgency as the NFL season is right around the corner and once that's on the horizon it will be too late to garner any degree of fan attention...might suit ownership just fine

I know people are eager for news, but the fact that we are receiving constant updates on what should be private negotiations makes me suspicious that this information is being selectively leaked to drive a narrative. This is not unlike when a player will have their agent "leak" an offer they received from one team in an effort to drive up bidding.

Yes, exactly. All that seems very reasonable and should be a win-win. So why is there still not even an outline of a return to play plan? The argument I am trying to make is that the narrative presented to the public through the media does not reflect the actual complexity of negotiations, and such over-simplification is ripe for narrativisation. The narrative I see emerging is one in which the owners will attempt leverage public opinion to denigrate labor as unreasonably rejecting a square deal

I don't read the updates that way...the players' position publicly is to receive prorated "pay-for-play" which seems fair in and of itself...in contrast, the owners are trying to limit losses claiming that their franchises while valued in billions, lose money for every game played without the revenue stream from attendance...the owners "golden ticket" is playoff money so if they could get away with a short season and go right to expanded playoffs they might break even

I didn't mean that MLB gives a shit what the public wants, but simply that owners are trying to use the media to control the narrative around labor negotaitions and paint the players as being greedy or unreasonable. Let's not forget that several of the owners have stakes in telecom and media companies.

keep your chins up guys. I still believe that some form of season will be played.

Going into COVID was hopeful I might be able to actually see a live game late season and then I realized it would be TV only. Frankly disgusted with both sides. The country could benefit from the season starting.

public opinion? that ship has sailed...now it's all about minimizing losses and maximizing compensation, both understandable positions...no one wins here

I get the impression that all this news is intended to get public opinion involved on one side or another. I don't think it's doomed quite yet, but they are very quickly running out of time. Also as I've said before, I'm very pro-labor, but Tony Clark is a fucking idiot. The MLBPA needs better representation.
