Once the union formally responds, and barring a stunning surprise, MLB is expected to make their official announcement of a delayed 2022 regular season.

This phrase, "best offer" is part of a term of art - "last, best offer" that management makes before it declares impasse- upon rejection by the Union. This would be something even more profound than merely announcing the cancelation of games. It would mean they are going to 1/ https://t.co/yNjHzNzTHe

But, it also could be their best offer today in advance of canceling games. That would not suspend the parties' duty to bargain. They would still have to keep negotiating until they reached agreement or impasse (even then they have a duty to bargain). They might take a break 3/

It’s mind blowing these dudes legitimately caused these issue & continue to lie about it. Walk out on us in Dallas. Lock us out. Don’t speak to us for 6 weeks. Take weeks at a time to respond to our proposals. Clearly don’t care about fans, baseball or the game. It’s exhausting https://t.co/1LW4Ju9sUJ

BREAKING: MLBPA player leaders agreed unanimously not to accept MLB's final proposal, and there will be no deal on a new collective-bargaining agreement before MLB's 5 p.m. ET deadline, sources tell ESPN.

MLB has threatened to cancel its March 31 Opening Day without a new deal.

While I don't think the owner's offer is insulting at all. I do think their tactics are complete bull***** I don't trust them as far as I can bunt them.
This is a joke as well. This is our game. We play the game. We love the game. We are fans of the game. We are asking for nothing but a small bit of fairness, largely for young players and players to come behind us. All we care about is baseball.

I tend to agree. He may be communicating ineffectively, but to say that a bump to $740k min for each and every player lacks fairness is absurd to me. Guess it is all subjective though.Ag_07 said:
If all he cares about is baseball then Lance should play for the league minimum and give the rest of his salary away to younger players.
Yeah...That's what I thought. Stop with the 'All we wanna do is play ball' BS. Kinda like the whole Wherever, Whenever campaign we saw a while ago.
One player leader called the league’s proposal, “a slap in the face,” saying owners want players to lose pay. https://t.co/8TJy8drHwC

Manfred: ‘Last five years have been very difficult for the league from a revenue perspective.’ MLB has totaled about $43 billion in that period.
