Remember, it’s a lockout by the oligarchs (I mean the owners) and not a players’ (none of whom are struggling workers, except in the minor leagues) strike. Not taking sides; but the owners struck first. They seem to think that gives them the high moral ground and some tactical advantage and control over the coming season. I don’t see it; but I’m an environmental lawyer; not a labor lawyer. Mostly I’m a fan who just wants this to be over by early March, when I will be in Florida and could see my beloved Phillies in Spring Training, ideally with a new LF and CF and SS and 2B and bullpen, too. The only sure thing is that the interests of the fans will not be considered for one stinking minute of the negotiations - if they ever negotiate.
