In case you haven’t heard, Major League Baseball is in the middle of a lockout. Later this week, the players’ union will meet with team owners to negotiate new contracts, hopefully in time for spring training.
Imagine if all of this haggling over salaries and contracts and terms happened without the players being at the table?
