Talks between Major League Baseball and the players’ union are expected to resume Thursday, the first negotiations since the lockout began in early December.
The MLB has transitioned to a twilight zone with the lockout going into effect on Wednesday night. Last night, the MLB officially locked out the players for the first time since 1995 after an agreement could not be made on a new collective bargaining agreement .
The MLBPA has sought drastic changes to the CBA while the team owners have been most keen on maintaining the status quo. Rob Parker, FOX Sports Radio host and member of the Baseball Writers Association of America,Players feel like their share of league revenue hasn’t kept pace with the income pulled in by the owners. MLB payrolls dropped 4% in 2021 compared to the league’s last full season in 2019, theThey’re also seeking changes to the league's eligibility for free agency.
"If you’re not going to give them the money they want, the bigger share, then they want to become free agents sooner. It takes six years now. That’s the thing, six years, you’ve got to play for almost no money," Parker explained.
