Owners wanted to cancel, but they cannot unilaterally make that call. Has to be negotiated, and the players aren't about to give that away, as much as the idiot owners want them to. I hope there's a lot of empty stadiums in April.
MLB may have a deal in place.......

No no, he's going to boycott by keeping his (parents) season tickets and selling them on StubHub.

MLB owners vote to ratify CBA, ending lockout
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and union chief Tony Clark hailed the new collective bargaining agreement Thursday, which halted the league's 99-day lockout and salvaged a 162-game season.
MLB had pushed for expanding the postseason to 12 teams -- a plan to which the MLBPA agreed. Additionally, player uniforms will feature advertising for the first time, with patches on jerseys and decals on batting helmets.
Other elements of the deal include:
• A 45-day window for MLB to implement rules changes -- among them a pitch clock, ban on shifts and larger bases in the 2023 season
• The National League adopting the designated hitter
• A draft lottery implemented with the intent of discouraging tanking
• Draft-pick inducements to discourage service-time manipulation
• Limiting the number of times a player can be optioned to the minor leagues in one season
Bottom line: the owners & players get more of the fans’ money in exchange for a shittier product. A ban on the shift? How about you lazy assholes learn to directionally hit? What’s in the next CBA- pitchers are only allowed to throw 3 sinking curveballs per 9 innings?
Ownership put the ban on shifts into the negotiations. Some power hitters probably love this, but it wasn't something the union was actively seeking out.MLB owners vote to ratify CBA, ending lockout

This tells me that essentially, the owners broke the union.
Either that, or that the executive board wanted to give the owners the finger one last time for starting the lockout and not negotiating for 43 days.
Could be a tactic for the next negotiation.
It's on! Opening day April 7

9 guys vs 9 guys. Not 8 + two half guys vs 8 + two half guys.
The pussiness of the AL finally infected the NL.

Minimizing the value of the MLBApp.
I may have to cancel it because it will only grant access to 18 Giants games a year (YouTube, Apple, Peacock, Padres, ESPN…)

doesn't matter, Phillies are playing this year for the Dancing Dutchman and Chauncey.
From Charlie Kelly, King of the Rats to the Philly Frenetic. Evolution is a wonderful thing.
