I think he was the lead negotiator for MLB. Which is why it makes even less sense that they aren't actually negotiationg. Yeah Samson was saying yesterday that Jerry Reinsdorf wanted someone that would take a harder stance against the players than what Manfred was supposed to take when the elections were happening. I wonder what the harder stance to this would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Eh, Heyman likes to reach. The fact that there is some movement at least is good. The fact Clark and Manfred actually met up finally is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Probably see a player counter offer of 70ish games and they'll end up somewhere between that but it would be at least constructive counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm down for any form of a season at this point. As a Marlins fan I selfishly just think a lot of our key players need some game action and losing an entire year would be such a problem. Guys like Sixto and Monte, even Brinson, they just need to get real game action sooner rather than later so that hopefully everyone stays on the right track heading into 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Das Texan Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Finally getting rid of the pitching hitting. Bout fucking time. Don't need to see anymore pitchers looking like shit at the plate and killing rally after rally. National League being the only fucking league around with the pitcher hitting has been all kind of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Quote Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic report that the MLBPA disagrees with MLB's assertion that commissioner Rob Manfred and union chief Tony Clark agreed to the framework of a deal in their meeting Tuesday. The report states that the MLBPA "is adamant that no deal was reached," with Clark informing Manfred that the proposal of a 60-game season was not long enough. Rosenthal and Drellich also write that "both sides were exasperated by the latest turn of events, which threatened to unravel what appeared to be significant progress." It's hard to believe that this would all fall apart given the progress that seemed to be evident, but negotiations between the two sides have been frustrating overall, to say the least, so anything is possible.

Michael Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Universal DH is inevitable so embrace it. For us this year, I'd say Aguilar is the clear choice but going forward - Jerar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
