MLB players union seeking $500 million in grievance against league
NY Post
The bad relationship between management and players that threatened if there would even be a shortened season last year has spilled more demonstrably into negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.
The MLB Players Association has officially filed a grievance stating that MLB did not act in good faith last year to play as many games as possible, and MLB has filed a counter-grievance, multiple sources told The Post. The players are seeking an estimated $500 million in damages, according to two sources. The union grievance does not specify exactly how many games more than 60 the 2020 season should have been, which is why they seek about $500 million. That would roughly translate to an additional 20-25 games worth of pay for players.More Related News
