Tom Ackerman joins Marc Cox to talk about the upcoming baseball season and negotiations.
When asked about COVID-19 affecting the negotiations Tom said, "There’s a lot of stuff that part of the negotiation. There’s a lot of, I don’t want to call it periphery, the main stuff is money, but yes there are a lot of things. There will be a discussion on covid protocol. There will be a discussion on the DH (designated hitter) being in the national league. There will be discussions of different rules and things like that."
Tom continued saying, "Those are all bargaining chips I'd say that the covid protocol is a collective discussion for sure, but the main driver here is the money. Once they figure that out I think everything else will be show me the money."
