    Jon Heyman @JonHeyman MLB is planning to make a new proposal following the owners meeting which ends tomorrow. It is expected to involve core economic issues, and hope remains that it could trigger something to get a deal done on time for the regular season to begin as scheduled, or close. Jon Heyman @JonHeyman MLB and the players union are to meet Saturday so presumably the new MLB proposal will be unveiled then

    Minor League Baseball @MiLB This year, the Triple-A season will run from April 5 to Sept. 28! It will be the longest campaign for the Minors' highest level since 1964 (154 games). https://t.co/iWL7rwnsEj

    Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith Some details on MLB’s proposal today: heard MLB proposed that teams would have the right to sell uniform patches & helmet decals. If MLBPA accepts, MLB would agree to some of players’ pension & medical benefits proposals.

    Bob Nightengale @BNightengale MLB and the union are expected to meet again soon, perhaps later this week, to at least discuss non-core economic issues.

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Labor talks are over. Here's what happened. - MLB agreed to accept parameters of a pre-arbitration bonus pool for top 30 WAR. MLBPA seeking $105M. League offered $10M. - MLB offered minimum raise to $615K. MLBPA wants $775K. - MLB withdrew offer to change arbitration structure Jeff Passan @JeffPassan There is no deal today. There never was going to be a deal today. The takeaway: A pre-arb bonus pool gets the best young players paid more. Players wanted it, and it's a good thing for them. Players are laughing at the $10M offer. It's far too low. Negotiations will change that.

    Bob Nightengale @BNightengale The players union has agreed to drop its proposal for earlier free agency and lowered their proposal for reduced revenue sharing from $100 million to about $30 million. Talks continue tomorrow Bob Nightengale @BNightengale Progress: The last time MLB and the players association met face-to-face in Texas the meeting lasted 7 minutes. Today’s session was about two hours and included significant proposals

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association plan to meet Monday, when the union is expected to present a counteroffer to the league’s proposal last week, sources tell ESPN. This would be the second meeting between the sides since MLB locked out players on Dec. 2.

    Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith Per the AP, MLB players had asked to raise the CBT from $210 million to $245 million while owners offered to increase CBT to $214 million https://t.co/kigZBW3nqq Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith Also per @AP_Sports, players asked for a $775k MLB minimum salary while owners proposed tiers: $600k minimum for players with < 1 year of service $650k for 1+ players $700k for 2+ players So sounds like there's momentum for raising minimum Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith Via the AP, MLB would consider a draft lottery for bottom 3 teams. Meanwhile, MLBPA would like to expand potential lottery to bottom 8 teams while also giving small-market teams bonus picks if they win Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith If MLB implements a draft lottery there's been talk of limiting the number of successive years a team would be lottery-eligible to three. Would dissuade teams from extended tanking efforts.

    Ben Nicholson-Smith @bnicholsonsmith Also heard MLB’s offer to players today included 14 teams in playoffs That's arguably players' biggest bargaining chip: owners clearly want expanded playoffs.

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Plenty more coming in a story at ESPN but the broad strokes of MLB's proposal, per sources: - Funnel additional money to all players with 2+ years service - Award draft picks to teams that don't manipulate service of successful top prospects - Tweaks to proposed draft lottery Jeff Passan @JeffPassan This is very important to understand: Bargaining is not linear. Sometimes it's big proposals. Others it's incremental. The union will counter -- likely sooner than later. This is a long process. Significant progress before March 1, when games are threatened, could be minimal.

    Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz NEWS: For the first time in two decades, the Orioles are altering Camden Yards’ playing dimensions, moving back and raising the left-field wall to try to reduce the iconic ballpark’s propensity for home runs. https://t.co/GCxYdblMMd Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz Camden Yards’ left-field wall will be about 5 feet taller in 2022 and moved as much as 30 feet farther from home plate. Since its introduction in 1992, no ballpark has seen more home runs sail over its fences. #Orioles https://t.co/GCxYdblMMd

    Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association plan to hold a bargaining session Thursday, sources tell ESPN. MLB is expected to make a core-economics proposal at the session, which would be the first between the sides since the league locked out the players on Dec. 2.
