MLB and the MLB Players Association continue fighting over who deserves how much money. If they don’t reach an agreement soon, sportsbooks will have to find ways to get creative.
All sports leagues are still recovering from a couple of years of underachievement. COVID-19 is the culprit for most, but MLB has made its situation worse. The season was cut short in 2020 because of disagreements, resulting in 60 instead of 162 games. But this year, owners and players are seeking to be on the same field once again.
MLB and the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) have been brass bickering over contracts since 2019. The two sides have been meeting regularly to try to come to an understanding.
Yesterday was the deadline for an agreement to be reached. But, in typical MLB fashion, there is still no conclusion.
The MLB and MLBPA have only been able to agree on one thing – to extend the negotiations through today.
