Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement expired Wednesday night, resulting in the league’s first work stoppage in a quarter-century.
The strategy, management’s equivalent of a strike under federal labor law, ended the sport’s labor peace after 9,740 days over 26 1/2 years, according to the Associated Press.
In 1994, the league and its owners immediately locked out players in a move that threatened spring training and opening day.

Just do what hockey players do in their off season, M.C. Wine Country Tours in Napa, Temecula, and other Wine rich regions of California.
‘There’s no crying on Wine Tours!’
‘More Wine!’
Don’t care!

Oh Lordy, Lordy, What shall I do now?

Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic see massive unemployment.

Kneel for those BLM assholes. Alienate 1/3 of your viewership forever. Severely damage the marketing value of your sport. And then don’t get why salaries are no longer justified. Good job, morons.
And NO ONE cares….
LET’S HOPE THIS WORK STOPPAGE LAST ALL NEXT YEAR.
silly people
it doesn’t matter what you think of the lock out
it only matters what world leader
“winnie the ‘xi’ pooh” thinks about it
don’t worry,
if it bothers xi
then brandon will be all over it
besides baseball has sucked since the invention of the designated hitter.
stupid rule change
Major League Baseball locks out players, sport’s first work stoppage in roughly 26 years

Fort all I care, they can stop playing forever, all of them are a bunch of Prima Donna overpaid pussies.
This is the fault of Covid and climate change, and Trump. Unless we pass the Build Back Better Boondoggle we will face the dire consequences of a Year Without Baseball!
