Probably a little from column A and a lot from column B. Striking a deal is within their hands if they wanted it.

"Amid all the doom-and-gloom surrounding the CBA negotiation, there is at least one voice suggesting a deal could be in the offing. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports this morning that the two sides are “within striking distance” of a deal, and the two sides could reach a suitable compromise by tomorrow night. MLBTR’s sources disagree vehemently with Heyman’s report, however, and continue to say that a deal is not close."

I don't think the Bulls have the assets, and the cost vs injury risk is just too great for me.

I agree. The owners were never serious about meeting in the middle and it was reflected in their offer again yesterday. The players should walk away from the table at this point. Sadly we won't see baseball any time soon.

You know, when the Germans stop bombing Pearl Harbour.

That ending was brutal.

NBA refereeing is so bad.

If ownership had any interest in negotiating in good faith, I would share these sentiments. But after today’s bullshit, continued meetings feel futile.

Today was irrefutable evidence that ownership is not serious about finding a deal. Two days before their deadline and they are still throwing out non-starters? How do the players even take them seriously at this juncture?

Same. Conforto >> Castellanos for what the Sox need IMO.

No, it’s an accurate assessment.

Over/Under on how much Manfred's presence is hurting or helping?

Curt as always. Glad to see emotional maturity in men improves with age.

(let nothing contradictory enter the echo chamber. never ever.)

Yup, 2B should be the easiest hole to fill.
