If the owners had the firm intention of wanted games to be played in April, they wouldn't have sat on their hands for months in these negotiations, yes.

The owners have been trying to implement a salary floor in baseball for decades. Creating a minimum would go a hell of a lot further to getting players paid than increasing the CBT in which only a handful of teams even flirt with. It's something the MLBPA wont even entertain because it's going to come with a salary cap and we just cant cut the pay of Max Scherzer a few million to get Joe Blow in Pittsburgh a few extra dollars in his pocket. Why would Scott Boras ever want that?
But you keep on beating that drum of bad owners, bad!
