Bc outside of the players taking a deal that isn’t much different than the previous CBA, this is what he wanted. Fewer games means lower payroll. Team’s worst month financially is… guess what?… APRIL. The money lost will be made up in the expanded playoff system. https://t.co/I4BRDqMqB6

To the fans we will miss you most. To the younger generation of baseball players, this is for you.

The last 24hrs I’d say there was cautious optimism on the players side because the owners were actually at the table negotiating with us toward a deal. What we’re asking is more than fair. If there’s no deal the optimism from MLB was a PR illusion to make it look like they tried.
