Baseball Strike Raises Umpire Union Suit and Insurance Fees
Richie Phillips said a court order pauses the dispute pending Friday’s hearing on a class action by the umpires union alleging bad faith bargaining. Insurance payout of 2 million to cover lost dates spanned seven weeks as 153 games were canceled, with 26 owners paying Lloyds. Federal mediator Moffett said talks would resume at 11 a.m., as players reject new proposals limiting ranking free agents and adjusting compensation.
