It’s amazing to me how petty and stupid they’re all being. For one thing the agreement they made at shut down means they could just turn things on with no additional negotiations. But of course the MLBPA is generally considered the most powerful union in sports. And they like to prove that by #$%^ing the bed periodically. The owners went in for more negotiations, and the PA $#%^ the bed. They could have been playing in May. They could have been national heroes. Nope.
I think both sides have known for a while now that there wasn't going to be a season, and all the back and forth is mainly about who will get the lion's share of the blame for it (and the correct answer for that is government).
