MLB Network Radio is reporting that the players Executive committee voted 8-0 against the deal, and the players (who vote by team) overruled them 26-4. Looks like the pre-arbitration players said enough is enough.

Owners have to formally vote early this evening. Free agency probably starts about 8pm, and the first spring training game is in a week. The amount of money to be thrown around in the next 72 hours is going to be crazy.

interesting. who is part of the executive committe? ex players? or suits?

Your Mom, JORR, Seacrest, BigFan, the Pope, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the ghost of Three Finger Brown, and the Illuminati have a blanket vote.

Found it : https://www.mlbplayers.com/player-leadership

All current players. I dont want to sound mean but what background do these guys have in negotiations, finance, management, etc... Did they take some college courses or what? I mean if I was being represented by these 8 guys I would not be very confident.

conflict of interest...what a mess then.....makes sense now. they wanted to reject this deal for their own interests via their agent, not the good of the game.

Well, that's how baseball works. But the players basically told them to go pound sand.

5 of the 8 are Boras clients, and the biggest hang-up with the committee was the extra penalties/"tax" being applied to teams spending way over the "salary cap" (not a cap, but I forget what it's called? luxury tax...) Some might say Boras was actually running the committee, and the everyday players finally said "screw you".

MLB NETWORK has the details. I guess it's a 12 team playoff , not 14.

Jesse Rogers reporting that 7 inning double headers are dead and so is the leadoff man on 2nd in extra innings.

Good on the other players to tell the greedy players to go away.

I guess I have the image of 'dumb jocks' whenever I see players leading any kind of labor negotiation. So I can see how they setup this up so agents can pretty much be the puppet masters of the committee members.

Playoffs are 1 and 2 get byes (2 best division records). 3v6, 4v5. No reseeding, if 6 beats 3, they play 2.

“Game 163” is eliminated. Will have some sort of List of tiebreakers

Also sounds like free agency and trades can start as soon as deal is officially signed. That's supposed to be about 20 minutes from now. Could be a crazy night

Between the NFL and MLB, they are carrying sports talk through the doldrums.

This deal does nothing to solve the long term labor problems of the league, but it was the best deal available. Therefore, I commend both sides for coming to their senses.

162 games and 12 playoff teams is not sustainable. You can't have a 9 month league. NBA is running into the same problem. Got a bunch of Ferraris running in the Baha 1000.

Surely some free agent movement is going to start happening soon.

Couple other things....

The 3vs6 and 4vs5 playoff series are best of 3. All games hosted by the 3 and 4 seed. Makes for big difference in being the top wildcard team.

For the draft, the top 6 picks are lottery. Worst 3 records have equal chance, with lesser chance from there. All 18 non-playoff team eligible for lottery.

Also, nothing to do with MLB or the labor agreement. Canada won't let unvaccinated people in, so players with no shots can't travel to Toronto. White Sox @ Blue Jays 5/31 - 6/2.

And MLB and MLBPA agreed that players who aren't allowed into Canada lose pay and service time for those games.
