I'll believe it when it's ratified by a majority of owners. I wouldn't put it past Manfred and the hardliners to try one more last-ditch effort to screw this up.

If they did that, we might never have baseball again. You'd think that if they make a proposal to the union, it's already one that owners have approved, so any further ratification at this point is a formality.

But then again, these are MLB owners so they would do something to fuck it up.

As much as they try to make me do it, I can't quit this dumb, beautiful sport.

And Chaim, now that you know the CBT figure, get working on Devers and Bogaerts deals.

Executive subcommittee voted 8-0 against deal and teams voted 26-4 in favor, sources tell @TheAthletic. Dissenting teams were NYM, NYY, HOU, STL. First with breakdown: @JonHeyman.
That's a big FU to union leadership

It might also mean that leadership was a little too caught up in "winning" the negotiation and the majority of the players had a deal they could live with right now.
