Players and Owners Clash Over Baseball Contract
John Gaherin says owners will meet with the Major League Baseball Players Association to resolve contract disagreements after Marvin Miller announced the players overwhelmingly rejected a proposed three year deal. Miller cites 99 percent voting against and 85 percent not to accept with key conflicts over 162 game schedule payment of playoff gate and termination pay. The owners proposed 45 day pay for released players, no pay for those dropped in spring training, while players seek fairer treatment for veteran signees. A joint meeting is planned Friday to discuss the contract and general interests.
