Baseball strike talks continue as players and owners meet
Negotiations on a union dispute stall with a possible May strike looming. Grebey and Miller describe the session as productive but noncommittal while federal mediator Moffett schedules another meeting. The core dispute centers on compensation for top free agents lost in the re entry draft, a issue unresolved since last spring when the owners moved to implement a plan and the players threatened action shortly after. The owners seek a roster player as compensation, arguing rising salaries threaten their finances.
