Exactly. The guy who spends the money (Cohen) was OK with it. Why do these guys care? They're just pissed b/c they can't spend infinity billion dollars without significant consequence.CoachRTM said:

Their payroll is going to drop 75 M, but they're going to have to resign deGrom (40 M +) and rebuild their entire bullpen. That's a you problem. Not a league problem.EastCoastAgNc said:Word is there are a couple Mets players concerned about the CBT, and one or two are arguing against accepting the MLB offer. Mets look destined to pay the biggest tax, and it’s possible they are concerned fourth tier relax could inhibit spending.

Team votes are coming on now (delivered by player reps) and so far they are in favor. So far players are going against the executive council. https://t.co/rbGrAyd9hy

Refresher on who is still out there to be signed.
Interesting wrinkle here.
Executive board
— David Rosenthal (@_therealdrose) March 10, 2022
Max Scherzer (Boras client)
Lindor
Andrew Miller
Marcus Semien (Boras Client)
Gerrit Cole (Boras client)
James Paxton (Boras Client)
Zach Britton (Boras client)
Jason Castro
Scott Boras is the man behind the curtain here https://t.co/5y8BS1kKWN
There are 38 votes total in the player’s union, 30 team reps & 8 on the executive board. So, right now, if the board is against, they need two-thirds of the player reps to vote for the proposal for it to pass. Player reps are talking to their teams to determine their votes.

How does the vote work, each team's members vote and that team has 1 vote all together? Majority rule? any idea at all?
30 votes for all the teams, 8 executive committee votes.
Need 20 of 38 votes to pass.
Need 20 of 38 votes to pass.
I wasn't referring to Correa, Not happening unless his value craters and he takes a 1 year deal. Which won't happen.Farmer1906 said:Don't be. Several teams (like maybe NY) were out of the Correa market with the old tax. Now, they're in it. I still don't see us giving Correa the mega-deal he wants, regardless of tax. I think we're pretty much done unless we find value or enter the trade market.Taxman90 said:I got to admit, I'm pretty excited about the possibility of the Astros having $45MM or so of "cap space" instead of $23MM.EastCoastAgNc said:Free agency could open by *tonight* if there is a CBA agreement today, Tom Verducci just reported on @MLBNetwork.

If that happens, it's gonna be a wild few days and nights.
WE BACK!
BREAKING: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor deal, sources tell ESPN. While it still needs to be ratified by both parties, that is expected to be a formality, and when it is:

Baseball is back.
The players’ board vote to accept a deal was 26-12, sources tell me and @Ken_Rosenthal.

So the union exec board was probably 8 no's ; so team votes 26 yes 4 no
Opening Day is April 7.
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) March 10, 2022
Spring training games will start about March 18-20
See y’all soon ✈️✈️

6 of 8 are boras clients, so you have to figure at least those guys voted no.CFTXAG10 said:

So free agency starts up again when??
When the deal is ratified:
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) March 10, 2022
Trades happen
Free agency happens
Arbitration happens
Puppies happen
Hot dogs happen
Spring Training happens
Baseball happens
They ended up with a 12 team playoff, right?
Yes.
Baseball is really back. Nine inning doubleheaders and regular extra inning rules return. Man on 2nd is a thing of the past.

Universal DH too
I’m tingly!
— Geoff Blum (@blummer27) March 10, 2022
Since Aggie basketball pulled it off today, I fully expect Correa to the Dodgers or Yankees soon. I can't expect two good things in one day.

Union executive board vote was 8-0 against the MLB proposal but teams voted 26-4 in favor of it, carrying the day, Unusual that the general player population goes so far against player leadership.

Executive subcommittee voted 8-0 against deal and teams voted 26-4 in favor, sources tell @TheAthletic. Dissenting teams were NYM, NYY, HOU, STL. First with breakdown: @JonHeyman.

Interesting...wonder why the boys said no?
Awesome that they got rid of dumb extra inning rules
Maybe stay on Boras's good side so they can sign CorreaEastCoastAgNc said:Executive subcommittee voted 8-0 against deal and teams voted 26-4 in favor, sources tell @TheAthletic. Dissenting teams were NYM, NYY, HOU, STL. First with breakdown: @JonHeyman.

To make it easier to sign Correa?
