La pression des réseaux de télé
Combien de temps avant que la MLB ne se fasse demander un dédommagement en lien avec les matchs annulés?

Ceci dit, le plus important, ce sont les foules.
An MLB source said about half of the sports' revenues are tied to in-game attendance. So a 5% attendance decline would be something like a -2.5% revenue hit. That's a ~$250 million loss. What is the gap between parties? A dangerous game of chicken.

Notons, en parlant du dossier, que la MLB a quelques changements en tête.
The three rule changes that MLB wants to implement: Banning shifts, a pitch clock, and oversized bases can not begin before the 2024 season unless the union agrees. MLB wants the rules to go into effect in 2023.

Aucune nouvelle proposition
La rencontre entre la MLB et la MLBPA a été brève, comme prévu.
There were no formal proposals exchanged today during the negotiations. Unknown when MLB and the MLBPA will meet again.

Juan Soto ne pense pas à son contrat
Celui qui pourrait gagner 500 M$ laisse ça entre les mains de Scott Boras, son agent.
Juan Soto on a possible contract extension of $500 million: "500 what?, where?, how?, when, .500 batting average?… Right now we are focused on the lockout. Regarding my contract extension, Scott Boras is the one who will talk about it."

Les espoirs de la NFL n’aiment pas le baseball
50 espoirs sondés (sur 50) n’ont pas mentionné un joueur de la MLB quand est venu le temps de nommer un joueur d’une autre ligue.
We asked 50 NFL draft prospects their favorite current athlete outside of football. "So it would have to be a basketball player," one said. The NBA dominated, with LeBron James among 12 players named. Hockey? One. Baseball? None. NFL Combine Confidential: https://t.co/gt2zrk3Oyx

Un dirigeant brise le silence
Depuis le début du conflit, rares sont les hauts placés à parler.
No baseball executive had talked publicly about labor matters since the MLB lockout began Dec. 2.
Wednesday, Royals president of baseball operations Dayton Moore broke his silence.
