We are missing this generations best player Mike Trout in his prime. We are missing Cole debut w NYY & Betts w LAD. We are missing Pujols chase of Ruth & Greinke chase of 3k K’s...Make a deal, compromise or implement ....but do it now.

My take:
MLB couldn't implement a 48-52 game schedule at this time in the calendar without losing a grievance to the players since a schedule between 64-72 games can easily be fit in between now and Sept. 27th. Therefore, another delay tactic until the calendar is more friendly

Correction: The compromise should be this simple:
$231; $233, $238, $243, $245
and $50m Pre-Arb
table the International Draft as a separate negotiation. End the lockout and get players in camp so they can play 162 games.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the most sought after free agent on the market based on interested teams. His market started at $200-$220 m then went to $230-$250 m...now we're hearing he'll get close to $300 million. Not often 25 yr old top of rotation starter becomes free agent.

So here is my opinion on how the trade should go down now:
Dodgers trade Maeda to Twins for Graterol and keep him for their own bullpen.
Dodgers then trade Verdugo, Gonsolin and Downs for Betts, Price and cash.
Dodgers complete trade with Angels.
That should work for all 4

Both sides are so close to a deal. However I thought players would accept option 3 to eliminate draft pick comp&be gvien to 11/15 to agree on Intl draft or MLB could reopen CBA after 2024. That would give a minimum of 3 years of labor peace w/o draft……how does that stop a deal?
