According to 2 industry sources, there are presently 6 owners who do not want to play this year (the Athletic reported that the number is 8). The commissioner is hired, fired and paid by the owners. There are labor hawks and moderates amongst the 30 owners. In attempting to strike an offer with the players, Manfred can’t afford to see his constituency fall apart. A sensible person can comprehend the owners’ problem that Boras and others have misrepresented the problem as “settled” by a slightly worded March 26 contract.
