NY Post:

Mike”Vaccaro NY Post: Baseball’s feuding factions in danger of freezing fans’ souls forever.  Mike points out that while Rob Manfred says “’The concern about our fans is at the very top of our consideration list.’…folks with birth years like 1981 and 1992 and 2006 and 2017…baseball may already have lost them. Maybe forever. No matter how high on MLB’s “consideration list” they may find themselves.

Mets Daddy: Dick Monfort Is De Facto MLB Commissioner.  Mets Daddy hit a home run with this one -“Remember, this is the same owner who got in hot water for nasty and angry emails to Rockies fans. In those emails, he actively told fans to not come to the park and said Denver didn’t deserve a team. We saw that same arrogance in the CBA discussions. When all was said and done, he led the MLB to make a final offer they knew the players would never take. He got his wish with no fans coming to the park.”

Tim Ryder The Apple: The Farce is Strong in This One...Manfred's Follies continue on.. Any invested party with half a brain has been screaming for months that MLB was setting up the union to either accept their lopsided demands or lose paychecks in April (as long as that postseason money is on the table…). Unsurprisingly, they did just that. And on Tuesday, the union called their bluff.”

Faith and Fear in Flushing: Fans Plan, Manfred Laughs.

John Sheridan Metsmerized Online: Ways MLB Lockout Will Impact Minor Leaguers. “This past offseason, the New York Mets added Mark VientosRonny MauricioAdam Oller, and Jose Butto to their 40 man roster. They’re now not eligible to play in games or participate in Spring Training. The same goes for players like Travis BlankenhornKhalil LeePatrick Mazeika, and Nick Plummer who were likely ticketed for Triple-A to start the season.”

FanGraphs: Just How Far Apart Are the League and the MLBPA? “The gulf between them is significant, but it doesn’t seem unbridgeable. Negotiations in three areas – compensation for young players, the competitive balance tax, and postseason expansion – will be key to reaching an agreement when talks resume.”

AP Sports: Anger as much as money at center of broken talks. Players are seething over management actions in recent years. The union’s grievances over Kris Bryant’s demotion to the minor leagues in 2015, against Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay for not properly spending revenue sharing money and against MLB alleging the 2020 season was shorter than it should have been hover over negotiations like an unending storm.
