After Saturday's negotiations between MLB and the players' association, there is no great direction forward. It was 0: 43.
According to a union source, the sides are still far apart on a new collective bargaining agreement despite a long day of talks on Sunday.
A league deadline which would cause the cancellation of regular-season games came a day before the meetings. If the sport doesn't have a new collective bargaining agreement by the end of negotiations on Monday, opening day will be canceled along with a week's worth of games.
The league wants about four weeks of spring training in order to open the season on March 31.
The sides will meet again on Monday. A union source said they are ready to stay as long as it takes to reach an agreement. The same thing was said by the league. A league source called Sunday a productive day of conversations but there were no new proposals on core economics.
Minimum salaries, the competitive balance tax, Super 2 expansion, revenue sharing, expanded postseason, and a new pre-arbitration bonus pool are all items that the sides are far apart on. The league stated last week that if regular-season games are canceled, they will not be made up and players will not be paid for a season. The union believes they are likely to negotiate back pay in a return to play scenario.
An agreement needs to be reached first. Dan Halem and Bruce Meyer met with a union lawyer. The owners stayed back in the room while the lawyers talked with the union and three players were on the subcommittee.
Several meetings, both together and in their own caucuses, took place throughout the day before the sides ended negotiations after 7 p.m. Time. It will be the first time regular-season games have been canceled due to a work strike since 1994.
After the last collective bargaining agreement expired in December, owners locked out players. The Commissioner was hopeful that the players would jump start negotiations if they were locked out.
It has done nothing but.
