MLB news: 4 big reasons the 2022 season is in serious danger

The MLB lockout has frustratingly shown no signs of coming to an end anytime soon, with regular season games the latest casualty of the work stoppage. However, there is reason- or four reasons, rather- to believe that the 2022 MLB season is very much in danger. SNY's Andy Martino has the details.

The tone of the Zoom call, according to three sources, made it clear that even more owners would land in the “no” camp if the first CBT threshold rose above $220 million, the number they were about to propose.

The problem with that? The Players Association has made it abundantly clear that it will not accept a CBT threshold below $230 million.

This divide underscores how long this work stoppage has the potential to be. It’s difficult to see either side compromising on this key point — and the CBT is hardly the only area where significant differences remain.

Essentially, an offer that the PA found far too limited struck four owners as too generous, with others threatening to join that side.

The Competitive Balance Tax has been a key point in lockout talks and Martino shows just how complicated an agreement could be. Four MLB owners clearly thought that the league's offer to the player's association was too high, while the players thought it was too low.

Everyone knew that the owners and players weren't seeing eye-to-eye- if they were, there would be no lockout! However, it is shocking to hear that there are some owners who don't even agree with their own offers.

If that's truly the case, then it's really difficult to imagine baseball being back anytime soon.
