Though there’s no evidence of progress in MLB/players talks yet, there’s a sense of a bit more optimism, for whatever reason. Could just be because both sides know they absolutely can’t let money kill the season. Would be devastating for the sport, which should be reason enough.
No evidence of progress yet in MLB/ players talk so no realistic hope to meet the “soft” deadline of tomorrow June 1 for deal. That deadline was soft for a reason, and hope remains to start season July 4 weekend — if a deal can be done by range of June 5-June 9.
