“The game has such exciting players currently and for us to not be on time is a complete failure.”
Spring is around the corner with no baseball in sight. How much longer will this last? Here’s a look at some questions surrounding the season.A large gap separates the MLB and the MLBPA from coming to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement.
Among the economic part of the league’s latest proposal was a $5 million increase in the pre-arbitration bonus pool, but a major gap remains with the union asking for a $100 million bonus pool and the league sitting at $15 million. According to reports, the union is not pleased with those incremental changes. MLB and the owners also want to increase the tax rates on each tax threshold, bumping the first threshold from 20% to 50% — a proposed change that drew the ire of Giants pitcher Alex Wood.
So the odds are high that scheduled spring training games will be postponed or canceled. Even if you made plans to watch the A’s and Giants play in Scottsdale on St. Patrick’s Day, more than a month from now, you may want to reconsider.The regular season is supposed to start March 31, and both sides have something to lose should the lockout creep into the regular season. Fewer games means less revenue for the teams. And the players could lose some of their salary for games not played.
