As the baseball industry braces for the potential of another lockout after the 2026 season, Major League Baseball and the Players Association recently held a meeting to discuss the sport's labor issues, according to people briefed on the discussion but not authorized to speak publicly. Lead negotiators Dan Halem for MLB and Bruce Meyer for the MLBPA both participated, the source told The Athletic.
The MLB Players Association (MLBPA) announced finalists for the 2025 Players Choice Awards, which are chosen through a vote of their peers. The Los Angeles Dodgers had Shohei Ohtani place among the top three for Player of the Year and the National League Outstanding Player Award. Ohtani won the NL Outstanding Player Award last year. Clayton Kershaw is also one of the finalists for the NL Comeback Player Award.
