Any chance our group is among those six?

Considering how vocal he's been about losing money and other bullshit, I'd say yes.  Like I've mentioned, Ricketts is probably going to be the Reinsdorf of this work stoppage.  I wouldn't surprised if Jerry was one of the six also.

I wonder though with Marquee not having reached a deal with Comcast yet, if they would risk losing carriage fee revenue for an entire year. What a mess.

Hey, they’re talking so there’s some hope for MLB baseball in 2020

[funkster]

No one reported an agreement was reached, just that they were on a real path.  Odd release.

[Butcher]

Sounds like the DH is coming to the NL

[funkster]

I'm in.

[Butcher]

Can't say I'm a fan, but whatever.

[Kid]

I hate it.

I can learn to live with it. And here we go again.

If players and ownership can’t come to terms on length of season and season is cancelled, players will most likely file a grievance which would most likely go to arbitration. What’s the amount that players would request - and likely to receive - in arbitration? Bunch of hypotheticals but rationale for ask is that the amount should be what the owners will be willing to pay players for the 2020 season. With that figure should be able to estimate number of games that owners should agree to for the season.
