Description of Podcast
The owners and the players could not reach a deal by the December 1, 2021 deadline. So, the owners of MLB made a move: to lockout the offseason from not having negotiations for free agents to teams not being able to talk with players. Plus, the rising unions and strikes that are occurring in the U.S. are giving reason as to why the lockout may be just more than the owners’ unwillingness to cooperate.
