The more I'm reading about it the more I'm convinced their might not be a 2027 baseball season. The owners want a salary cap, the players don't. I don't see how this can be worked out. Bryce Harper has already said he doesn'r expect baseball to be played in 2027. Another baseball expert has said on Youtube that is the lockout isn't settled by June 15, 2027 there won't be baseball season in 2027.A few weeks ago I posted comments from a long time source with connections to the organization for decades.That person had lunch with JR and they told me that JR told them baseball would not be played in 2027.Take it for what it may be worth to you.

Then what happens after that?

What happens in 2028? Will the 2028 season be cancelled also? When would this ever end? If neither side gives in this could go on forever.

3 hours ago3 hr 16 hours ago, Falstaff said:If I could take duped out of my post I would. Let me put it this way, JR was a useful idiot for the owners for putting his face and name out there as the bad guy. JR was the bad guy but all the other owners got a pass and JR to this day wears it.I am not defending him at all, just pointing out the PR move was a disaster.That's kind of why he signed Albert Belle. He realized he'd been played by the small market owners to wear it.

That must sting to a man vying to steal millions from multiple states.

1 hour ago1 hr I don't see how the owners and players would allow the entire season to be lost. I mean, I see how it could happen, but I don't think either side wants that...at all. They really don't want to alienate fans, and that will be the biggest cost. Hockey lost a season to a labor dispute and had to make a bunch of changes to the game to get fans back.Based on what I've seen about how far apart the two sides are, it's hard to imagine some of the season not being lost. Hopefully they start having conversations soon and begin working on compromises. I don't see a salary cap/floor happening, and that might be the biggest roadblock.
