I think they're meeting today. I doubt anything really gets done in time for pitchers/catchers to report. I also question if the season starts on time, but there's still a few months before that.
Hoping we get some progress on this so we can open a 2022 DobberBaseball League.

MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association made "little progress" in their latest meeting, and a delay to the upcoming season "feels inevitable," per @JeffPassan | @BRWalkoff https://t.co/mduGIDc97M
The owners just aren't going to let go unless they can get another pound of flesh from the players. When the owners cry poverty but won't open their books, then they're out for blood. I'm not doing any MLB fantasy prep until I hear that a deal is almost in place or at least late March rolls around. The players will eventually buckle, it is just a question of when that will be.
Ugggggggggggggggggggggh. Cmon guys. Let's get this sorted out.
The biggest issue the MLB has is not paying their young guys early, and those players aren't represented strong enough by the Union yet. Teams still are kinda overpaying for older stars and that's who has the biggest voice right now.
I was doubting pre-season was going to start on time, but this news makes me really doubt the season starts on time. Kinda fine by me, my fantasy team is poopoo.

Reporters are now expecting a shortened MLB season. If it all works out could see a 140-150 game season and not a 162game season.
Personally...I would love an 80-100 game season. Every other day games. 2 game series (Game Monday, Game Wednesday, Travel Thursday). Make it more exciting by having meaning to games. I loved that shortened season because every game meant so much more.

Soto rejected a 13 year $350 million extension.
Wow.

Starting Monday MLBPA and MLB are going to meet daily because Feb28 is a soft deadline date of if they don't get a deal done on time by then, the regular season won't start on time.
