I like how they’re offering solutions to service time manipulation but still saying it’s alleged.
Might as well just admit that it was happening and move forward with ways to stop it from happening in the future.

Right-hander Aníbal Sánchez was a free agent last year after the Nationals declined his option for the 2021 season. He held multiple showcases for interested clubs, even into late April. However, he never found a deal to his liking and ended up deciding to sit out the season. But that doesn’t mean he’s retired, as Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports that Sanchez is considering a return in 2022.

As part of this afternoon’s collective bargaining proposal, the MLB Players Association dropped its push for an earlier path to major league free agency, reports Evan Drellich of the Athletic. It now seems likely the next CBA will require players to accrue six years of MLB service time in order to reach the open market — as had been the case under prior agreements.
The game’s service time structure is one of the most contentious issues during ongoing negotiations. The MLBPA, desiring to get players to free agency earlier, had previously been pursuing a modified service/age threshold that would’ve allowed players to test the market after six years of MLB service or after five years of service if the player had reached a certain age (initially 30.5 years, later 29.5).
quote:
In an additional concession, Drellich reports that the MLBPA agreed to alter its push for reduced revenue sharing from large-market organizations to small-market franchises. Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post adds more specifics, reporting (on Twitter) that the union’s latest offer included a revenue sharing cut in the $30MM range relative to the 2016-21 CBA.
quote:
While the MLBPA made a pair of notable steps towards MLB’s vision, one thing that hasn’t changed is the union’s desire for earlier arbitration eligibility. Drellich reports that the union’s proposal this afternoon would allow players to qualify for arbitration after reaching two years of MLB service, as have all of the PA’s past offers. (The previous CBA required three years for arbitration eligibility for most players). MLB has thus far refused to discuss earlier paths to arbitration, either. Whether the league will be more amenable to that possibility now that the union has made some concessions in other key areas is unclear.

This is big. This is the union giving a lot and showing they want to get this done.
Somehow they will still be framed as greedy by the media sucking up to the owners.

The MLBPA giving in to the 6 years to FA thing makes me think there's a strong possibility. Certainly stronger than before.

Yeah, and uneducated people soaking up.what the media says and will blame the players saying they are greedy millionaires when any educated fan knows that the owners are the reason we are here right now.

I'm encouraged that the concept is generally agreed on. Negotiating a middle ground on the number should be relatively simple after that.
In general both sides seem to giving some things up. It's not even, the players have far less to give up, but at least it seems like they're both trying to get this done. It doesn't seem nearly as contentious right now as it was expected to get, but there is still time I guess.

This may be the longest offseason since 1994.

Yeah I guess 2020’s was just as long as 1994’s offseason. At least it was due to a pandemic and not bickering.

MLBTR has learned some specifics regarding the MLBPA’s latest proposal for the draft, which MLB rejected during recent collective bargaining discussions. Under the union’s offer, teams would find themselves excluded from the lottery for finishing below certain thresholds in the standings for two to three consecutive seasons. The specific thresholds for exclusion varied depending upon market size, with larger-market clubs facing stricter requirements for lottery eligibility. Non-playoff teams either excluded from or that didn’t win selection in the lottery would select in reverse order of the previous season’s standings from Pick #9 onwards; playoff teams would select in reverse order of regular season record after all the non-playoff teams have picked, as is the case under the current system.
