So there will be a 12-team postseason pool and the owners have agreed to have similar luxury tax penalties as the last CBA

If Bob says so, then no deal has been made, right?
There still will be some tweaks but the luxury tax penalties will be similar to the last CBA: 20%, 32% and $62.5%
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) March 1, 2022
If accurate, I'm so happy they didn't go to 14 teams. Even 12 is stupid to me, but I get the $$$ draw and competitive draw. Trade deadline is going to be weird now.
The two sides still have to finalize luxury tax thresholds with tweaks to smaller issues before a deal is reached.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) March 1, 2022
They probably won't have a deal tonight, but I think it's very likely within the next 24 hours
It is now midnight and no one is moving as the two sides moving ever so closer

Bob is on a heater!
Ummm did we miss this?
Idc if it's Baltimore. 10/350 is a take without a second thought.
According to this report, the Orioles could be considering a 10-year $350 million contract for Carlos Correa. I'll believe it when I see it. But obviously O's fans like myself would be quite excited about such a move and the statement it sends to starving fans here in Charm City. https://t.co/CWUK3SwKWY

He's gonna be way more valuable than Chris Davis, that's for sure.
MLB's numbers still aren't there from player standpoint but sides still described as inching closer on some core issues per source.

Hearing that MLB wants a deal tonight while players are deciding how long to continue talks, which have been ongoing for 14+ hours off and on

Some confirmation.
While talks are ongoing, players and owners are agreeing to move ahead with plans for a 12-team playoff field as first reported by @BNightengale
— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) March 1, 2022
Reminder: No agreement can be reached without the approval from 23 of the 30 ownership groups. The luxury tax threshold, which was $210 million last year, still remains an issue.

THIS IS GOLD, JERRY!
Edit: that didn't crop great, but Passan is the no. 1 seed Cavaliers in this joke.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Current plan is to stay in the stadium and keep talking until a deal is done. Determination to finish this exists.
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) March 1, 2022
Idiots. Why did they not start talking sooner? They knew it would come down to this. Drama queens.
Older Orioles fans that were used to seeing Ripken EVERY day for however many seasons in a row are going to love Correa on a 10 year contract.
The new Ironman.
The new Ironman.
Significant progress has been made in these 15 hours of talks, but several hurdles still need to be resolved before a deal can be consummated before breakfast.

There will be no deal on a new collective-bargaining agreement in this early hour, sources tell ESPN. Enough progress was made that MLB and the MLBPA will meet again later today in hopes of finalizing one. Deadline to miss regular-season games has been moved to 5 p.m. today.

Time to go to bed, folks

Deadlines spur action
If Carlos does in fact leave, I'm fine with the Orioles being a destination. Anybody but the Rangers, Dodgers, and Yankees
So if tax threshold is $210M, how much room remains for the Astros?
Conflicting reports that it's between $220M and $230M right now.BCSGrubber said:

Shift restrictions have entered the discussion. MLB and players are hitting on everything, which may not be a bad sign.

Here is where we stand.
Maybe they should institute a 10th fielder for roving. How about everyone gets at least 1 at bat each game including bull pen guys. Oranges after the game? Small replica trophies for everyone that doesn't make the playoffs?EastCoastAgNc said:Shift restrictions have entered the discussion.

I'm in favor of banning infielders moving out and becoming a fourth outfielder. Let infielders shift in the infield and outfielders in the outfield, but keep them to their respective in/out field. The lack of non-HR extra base hits is negatively impacting game play.
I am all for letting everything play wherever they want, but I fully understand why some people would want to put limitations on it. It is a major disadvantage to left-handed batters. There is some precedent in other sports about being lined up in certain positions in football or you can't just guard the paint in basketball.
Give left handed batters the choice to run to third base after hitting the ballFarmer1906 said:

That way its fair for lefties and righties
And put lines between the bases that they have to stay on.astros4545 said:Give left handed batters the choice to run to third base after hitting the ballFarmer1906 said:
