ChiSox59 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 March 3rd. Season is delayed a week even though it feel like they could have started on time, especially when the date comes. But there’s lots of wishfulness in that take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 March 12. MLBPA publicly agrees on March 13 for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 June 1st or later. I’m not optimistic ownership budges on core issues any time soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Before next Monday 2/28. The threat of no expanded playoffs is a game changer for the players. The owners have to have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owners were/are willing to lose games because they’ll make it all up and then some with expanded playoffs. The players know that. MLBPA has made it clear to the owners that they won’t approve expanded playoffs unless they play a full schedule. It’s a smart piece of negotiating by the players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said tonight the the first week of games from 2/28-3/5 are already cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarava Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'll go with March 5th. They'd still get their full season and expanded playoffs in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that short sighted on the Owner's part though? Giving up millions this season vs. billions in all the future season combined? It makes sense but I guess it's just not clear to me why it's a great bargaining chip outside of this current season.

zisk Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 April 10th. Expanded playoffs or not, players will come back after losing negotiations. Careers are a short and perishable item. Ownership is forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runtheballdown Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I am predicting a lost year here. February of 2023 is the start of baseball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 There's way too much to lose on both sides. It's nice to see they're taking it more seriously by meeting everyday, but when you hear how far apart they are on key issues it's frustrating. Someone will have to give in big, and maybe they'll each take hits on a couple issues. I feel that the final agreement will be closer to what MLB is offering now. I don't see them meeting in the middle. Regardless, they know it's urgent, and they know the risk of fans' frustration and possible loss of interest.

Chisoxfn Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 March 15th - I suspect we will see a 150 game season (this year) but players will be paid for 162 games but with expanded playoffs. March 15th agreement - means spring training kicks off about March 22nd-31st (as I figure you need at least 7-14 days for the rest of the off-season to finish and everyone to get reported etc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
