Nightengale reports meeting #12 ends after about 40 minutes

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

I’ve gone as far as I can tonight. Hopefully the progress yields a deal soon

 

[goldfly]

calling it a night. pushed the deadline to 5pm tomorrow. seems like we should get a deal done and have baseball on time :fingerscrossed:

 

[SJ24]

5 pm deadline today.

There is a clear path to a deal here.

MLB is at the following numbers per Evan Drellich:

CBT- $220 million through 2024, then it's raised to 224 and 230 in '25 and '26. No increase on the tax rates.

Prearb bonus pool- $25 million

Minimum salary- $675,000, which is an 18% increase

Anyone seen anything about an international draft? It was always talked about like it would be a certainty in these negotiations, but I don't think I've seen it mentioned even once.

This will get done today

If they’re going to have it, it should be part of the amateur draft rather than a separate draft.

Heyman actually just said the two sides differ on the international draft, so we'll see what happens. I'm hoping it doesn't happen after Kiley's report that we have a deal in place for a big time 2023 signee.

Why couldn’t they have done this months ago? Just sit in a room and hammer out a deal this’ll it’s done.

 

[Hudson2]

If a deal is done today then it’s gonna be buck a$$ wild for the next 24 hours on signings and trades.

I really wonder how much under the table communication has been going on during the lockout.

The avalanche of deals that will follow will inform us on this question.

because these deals always come down to the last possible minute

I saw someone - I think it was Goldstein at Fangraphs - say that there would probably be a 48-72 hour hold on transactions to make sure they get everything finalized with the deal before everything starts.
