Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred canceled more games Wednesday, increasing pressure on locked out players and appearing to close the remaining chance to play a full 162-game schedule.
MLB said it would not make a new counteroffer to players unless the union first chose one of three options: agreeing to the international draft in exchange for the elimination of direct amateur draft pick compensation for qualified free agents; keeping compensation in exchange for MLB dropping the international draft proposal; or dropping compensation while giving players until Nov.
"The clubs went to extraordinary lengths to meet the substantial demands of the MLBPA," Manfred said."On the key economic issues that have posed stumbling blocks, the clubs proposed ways to bridge gaps to preserve a full schedule. Regrettably, after our second late-night bargaining session in a week, we remain without a deal."
Management's desire for an additional fourth tax threshold at $60 million above the first threshold is among the contentious points remaining. After the sides negotiated on and off for 16 1/2 hours until 3 a.m. Wednesday morning, the union held a morning conference call with its executive board.
