Ken's Mailbag | One step forward, two steps back for labor negotiations
About this episode
Yes, the owners and players made some progress in their negotiations a week ago, but the movement was minor and the sides are still far apart on almost every major talking point. Ken Rosenthal digs into that problem before opening up this week's mailbag to answer these questions from our listeners...
-When will a decision be made regarding cancelling games?
-Are teams currently talking trades that will be finished after lockout?
-Where will Seiya Suzuki sign?
-Would extra arbitration year lead to more non-tenders?
-Will Bob Nutting sell the Pirates?
-How does baseball get action back into the game?
-Fixing MLB's blackout problem?
Those questions and more! To be a part of next week's episode call the voicemail at 646-543-7072 or email [email protected].
