Marcus Semien. He's back in a BIG way after struggling to s...

This week as we all feared, the CBA talks did not go well. MLB and MLBPA could not come to an agreement by the proposed deadline. All of baseball is furious they couldn't find a way to make it work, operate in good faith, and players are letting people know it. We're breaking down what this means for the league and if the 2022 season will happen at all. Baseball continues to hold its breath.
