Major League Baseball made its latest proposal to players on Thursday as the two sides attempt to hammer out a new collective bargaining agreement. The offer concerned the future of the draft and international signings, and would be so disruptive to the sport that the owners must know how absurd it is.
First reported by Baseball America’s JJ Cooper, the offer from the league would represent massive changes in how teams acquire amateur talent and lead to far less money making it into the hands of young players. It’s no surprise the players union quickly issued a forceful rejection.
