Exactly. This makes no sense.

If you could make the same amount of money and work less days a year wouldn't you be trying to do it as well?

If they're really going to try and cram 154 games in a season that's basically 3 weeks shorter, there will be virtually no off days and more double headers. If I were the union, I would demand 28 man rosters all season.

Once they agreed to 7 inning double headers you had to know there would be a high chance of some in the schedule. I look forward to DHs that go into extra innings.

Why is MLB set on destroying my favorite sport?

There's absolutely no legit reason to delay.

They've had 9 months to work it out and make it happen.

Ya'll think this is bad? Wait til the CBA expires after this season. The strike is coming.

There has to be something up or some kind of agenda. They already released a spring training schedule, exhibition schedule, and a regular season schedule. Why the hell would you wanna delay that? NFL wrapping up a full season, NBA in full swing with very few hiccups. Makes the MLB look foolish, again.

Maybe something around this is what Passan was hinting at breaking this week.

Well hopefully we win the 2021 World Series so it'll take the sting away a little

I think you're right

How does that work with contracts? Does a strike season count as a year of service?

I think some of it depends on how the CBA ends up shaking out. I imagine there will be some changes to the service time rules this round after all the grievances filed over manipulation.

I don't see how the owners can provide full pay for a 162-game schedule without fans -- even 25% fans.

does TV revenue cover everything?

hilarious they'll delay a game played outdoors. MLB might just be about done. Just dumb.

I think what happened to George is going to be the impetus for some major contact discussions that are going to happen with this new CBA. It's why I'm not sure the 2022 season gets started on time or even at all.

Baseball sure does know how to kill itself.

I wonder what the owners' big demand will be in the new CBA

So I'm guessing the story Passan was talking about is this Mickey Callaway situation

Porter and now Callaway. But Taubman's still the devil.

Doubtful, passan is espn, that story was the athletic. Maybe he got beat to the punch, who knows.

Story is up. Trigger warning, it goes into a lot of detail about the attempt and survival right up front, so I wouldn't read if that kind of stuff gets to you.
