New York Teams See Minor Move in MLB Strike Talks

The dispute centers on ranking free agents and how compensation is sourced, with terms for Type A and Type B players and protections in draft selections.

Umpires seek to block strike insurance payments
A Common Pleas judge issued a temporary injunction blocking Lloyds of London from paying up to 50 million dollars in strike insurance to major league baseball team owners. Umpires filed a class action suit alleging contracts with baseball, municipalities, players and vendors could be harmed. The move aims to curb incentives to stall bargaining as negotiations continue amid a 13 day strike and 153rd game cancellation.
