January 31, 20215 yr 12 minutes ago, flavum said: The key for players to consider approving this proposed amendment to the current CBA agreement would be whether “full pay” is guaranteed (including any increased playoff compensation), even if regular season and or playoff games are cancelled / cannot be held or completed due to COVID or other unforeseen reasons. Otherwise, the players can just affirm to honor the current existing agreement, which calls for full pay of 162 games and the existing playoff format. The owners cannot deviate from the current agreement without either obtaining player approval and or violating the collective bargaining agreement and risk possible sanctions or financial penalties if successfully challenged in court. The players formally agreed last year to give MLB authorization to adjust the schedule as the commissioner saw fit, much to their (and our) detriment. Hopefully they learned from their mistake of trusting ownership to do the right thing. Edited January 31, 20215 yr by South Side Hit Men

January 31, 20215 yr Just now, hi8is said: Why not 162? I’m guessing just because there wouldn’t be room in the schedule to fit that in once they delay the season like they want to. You can’t go too far into November.

You can’t go too far into November. Haven’t paid attention to this angle since last summer... so my guess is owners want to delay so that it’s more likely for in person attendance due to vaccination?

February 1, 20215 yr Who is realistically left? Mets and Dodgers (always a threat if he is willing to go short term)?
February 1, 20215 yr Pedroia probably once thought he could get to 3000 hits someday. 1805. Good career. Joins David Wright in the “what could have been” Hall of Fame.
