MLB Players: 'Tell Us When and Where'
By Kyle Koster
With the Major League Baseball in severe jeopardy, players appear to all be on the same. So much so that they are independently tweeting the same simple message. It's very weird. It's possible the MLBPA is behind all these.

Rob Manfred and the owners are walking back on their word...AGAIN. The fans do not deserve this. So I’ll say it one more time, tell us when and where.

And so on. There are many more. There will be many more. The players have kept a united front through these trying times. Consistent messaging is good and as a staunch pro-labor guy I'm not questioning this one. But if it were really their strongest foot forward, one wonders why it took so long to get to this point.
Anyway. There may be no baseball this summer but we can all take solace in the knowledge we can get this slogan on a bumper sticker or something.
