CBA Musings (1/28): What’s Happening and What’s Next?
GoBravesGo replied to Ted Schwerzler 's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I am a lawyer also. So I have some interest in following the negotiations. I understand waiting until the last minute. I do it if I have a difficult or unreasonable lawyer on the other side. I use the pressure of the court calendar to extract a better deal. However, I often start negotiations early in those cases where there is a large gulf on the issues. Then I wrap up at the last minute, if necessary. MLB has such a large gulf here, but both sides in the negotiations waited too long to begin work and have wasted a ton of time. Three hours of meetings in nearly 60 days is inexcusable. Unless there are back channel negotiations, I don't see much progress here. I fear that the 2022 season and part of the 2023 season may be gone. I see incompetence and rigidity, not firmness, in these negotiations. I hope this is a misperception and that I am wrong.
