Los Angeles Angels pitcher Noah Syndergaard is not happy with the lack of progress made in the MLB lockout negotiations. While the owners and MLBPA continue to go back and forth in their discussions, with little headway, players are continuing to grow more and more frustrated. Syndergaard seems to have reached his boiling point on Monday, taking to Twitter to put the owners on blast with a ruthless, yet fully accurate, tweet.
Bet if you cut off their paychecks until baseball resumes, deal gets done tomorrow. https://t.co/T5mJOO0KI8

The longer the league is locked out, the more the pockets of its players will be impacted. Obviously, the players want to get back out on the field as quickly as possible, but the lack of progression in the negotiations has already delayed Spring Training and is now threatening to impact the regular season, too.
Syndergaard put it how it is, suggesting that if the owners were losing their paychecks, they'd do everything in their power to ensure a deal gets done. However, since the billionaire owners are still collecting their paychecks, they seem content with keeping the league locked out until the players meet their demands.
The latest updates from Monday's negotiations suggest that a settlement is a long way away, and that the regular season is seeming more likely than ever to be shortened.
Syndergaard was lucky enough to latch on with the Los Angeles Angels before the MLB lockout ensued. However, players who failed to reach an agreement with a new club prior to Dec. 1 remain in limbo as they await the end of the lockout so they can resume talks with clubs.
