Description

In the latest devastating development for Major League Baseball, five days after saying the season "unoquivically" would take place, Comissioner Rob Manfred said he's "not confident" it would happen. This comes after the MLBPA rejected the league's latest proposal to start the 2020 season, concluding that "It's time to get back to work. Tell us when and where." It looks as though they called the owners' bluff, because the commissioner acknowledged yesterday that he was not willing to unilaterally impose a season on the players, because the MLBPA is likely to file a grievance reportedly in excess of $1 billion in response. The fact that the commissioner won't implement a season if the players would file a grievance suggests that the league is concerned it would lose. It also suggests that they have not been negotiating in good faith to try to maximize the number of games in 2020. Now, the league will attempt to walk back to the negotiating table.
