Even with a formal rejection of #MLB's proposal to delay the season, the union and MLB still have until opening day to reach a potential agreement on the universal DH and expanded playoffs. They reached an agreement just hours before opening day last season.

Deadline for the players union is Monday to respond to MLB proposal of 162 games pay for 154 games, one month delay, universal DH and expanded playoffs. It’s clear the union won’t accept as it (it doesn’t like extra playoffs and other things) but the hope is it counters

What is their beef with expanded playoffs?

You know what Arizona needs right now? Not a bunch of out of staters attending public events.

The stupidest thing about all of this is that this is the last season with the current labor agreement. The main reason the players are fighting against this is because they want to use these as negotiation points in the next collective bargaining agreement.

Expect a very long lockout.
