As the MLB Lockout drags on with no end in sight, I’ve found myself wondering about the aftermath and potential ramifications, both short and long term. As anyone who follows the game at all knows, when the CBA expired on December 2nd, the owners chose to lockout the players. Since then negotiating sessions have been sparse and unproductive with little movement towards an agreement.
Yesterday the league announced they were seeking federal mediation, which the players rejected today as expected. For anyone with an Athletic Subscription you can read about the reasons why federal mediation was rejected HERE. For the purposes of this article it doesn’t matter why, or who is right or wrong. I’m not using this article to advocate for one side or other, (although readers of my comments here and on twitter probably have a good idea where I lean).
