Where have we heard this before?

Feels familiar…

I’d guess much like they do w/ INT signings. Up to a certain age you have to enter the draft, but if you’re 25 or whatever the age is you’re free to sign as a FA. I’d hope it’s more like 22 than 25 though.

One more round of back & forth, tweak a few things, and lets get this done. Please don't make yourself looks like the greedy assholes MLBPA...

This is true.

A fair amount of skepticism is definitely warranted after the way they've behaved all winter. I'm definitely rationalizing their actions. I know I shouldn't let myself hope anything is close but here I am.

Not yet, yesterday's deadline was bumped to today. Though waiting much longer it will be difficult to get 162 in, which potentially jeopardizes expanded playoff dollars this season.

If it became crystal clear that owners wouldn't get expanded playoff money this season (likely with TV deals already in place) if they stonewalled any longer, I would tend to agree.

Thinking more about this, is this where the urgency from the owners is coming from, or is it something more deleterious? Last real chance to get 162 in and get their expanded postseason?

My thoughts exactly.

A tweet w/o much other context posted to be contrarian. Seems in line to me. I have no informed opinion about the tweet itself.

This. Give teams a chance to win in extras w/o the gimmick first. After 12 or so saving the pen becomes important so I'm fine with it then.

Yeah, I get that. I am curious what they snuck into the fine print this time around.
