Prior to the end of the MLB lockout on Thursday, Jon Heyman reported there were “a couple” of Mets players who were arguing against the most recent CBT offer made by the league:

Well, it apparently gets worse: according to Heyman and Ken Rosenthal, the players’ union’s vote to accept MLB’s final offer was 26-12, with the 12 dissenting votes coming from the eight members of the executive subcommittees and reps from four teams: the Mets, Yankees, Astros, and Cardinals.
The two locals have four of the eight members of the two subcommittees: Max Scherzer is an Association Player rep and Francisco Lindor is an alternate, while Zack Britton is a Pension Committee rep and Gerrit Cole is an alternate.
Do the math, and you'll find that means half of the 12 dissenting votes came from New York, which went 0-for-6.
The other four players on the committees include two players who were on the Astros (Jason Castro) or Cardinals (Andrew Miller) in 2021, as well as ex-Yankee James Paxton and Marcus Semien (Rangers).
Regardless, the 26-12 vote means baseball is back, and once the deal is officially ratified, expect the next few weeks to be an absolute frenzy.
