Both players and owners are to blame at this point, and if no season winds up getting played it may be a blow to the game that this time it may never recover from.

00:00Major League Baseball players and owners have been so far apart in negotiations
00:12they can't agree on what they agreed on. Their March 26th agreement is looked at
00:18very differently. The owners believe that allowed them to reopen talks based on
00:23playing in front of empty ballparks and the players claim no we actually agreed
00:28already on payment it's 100% of prorated salary. But there's another
00:33major difference too that's been a sticking point and that is perspective.
00:37The owners are looking at this situation as a one-off anomaly trying to get
00:43baseball back on the field following a global pandemic. The players though are
00:49looking at this as a multi-year dimension that they're now looking at
00:53macroeconomic issues not just returning in 2020. There's a lot of difference
01:00between the two sides but in the end there is still time and motivation to
01:06get an agreement.
