IRVING, Texas — Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred arrived in town and was part of the labor negotiations Tuesday with the two sides exchanging proposals trying to bridge the colossal gap between MLB and the Major League Players Association.
The union presented a proposal Tuesday morning, and after 30 minutes, the MLB negotiating team – including seven owners – departed and retreated back to their hotel for four hours.
MLB officials, displeased with the morning proposal, offered their own counter proposal in an afternoon meeting that began at 4 p.m. ET and ended 35 minutes later. The two sides then went into private caucus rooms.
Bruce Meyer, chief union negotiator, and Andrew Miller of the union’s executive committee then agreed to meet in a private session with MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem and Colorado Rockies owner Dick Monfort.
