No both sides arguments from Ken Rosenthal this morning. He doesn't pull any punches in his column about the status of negotatiations placing this crisis of lost games on Manfred's lap. 1/

He goes on to make some of the points I've been making regarding the owners treating this as a zero sum game and a cavalier disregard about missing games - he stops short of the reason for that, which I've said is a misguided belief that they can break the union. 2/

Ken goes on to make a point that @joe_sheehan has been making for a while now: the current Union offer on the table is a big win for management. They should take it. 3/

Ken goes on provide baseball twitter's position on the matter, but throws in a zinger about how every time Manfred talks he alienates fans. I've posted how union organizers always say "the best organizer is a bad boss." But, this is even more than that. 4/
