Spring Training baseball games begin this weekend, which means it’s just about time to take a deeper dive into fantasy baseball prep. After missing the playoffs in the hyper-competitive 12-team, 20-keeper league I’m in, I went out and had an active offseason. My team has new players at first base, shortstop, four outfield spots, and six new pitchers. I traded away some valuable pieces for this re-tooling, but feel better about my team now than I did when the season ended. Hope springs eternal!
Onward with today’s Bullets.

Hard no on that proposed CBA.

Regarding CBA players vote on today.
Rosters would increase to 48 players from 46 on gameday, with overall rosters going to 55 from 53; practice squads would increase to 14 players in 2022, and 12 this year, up from 10.
Teams would be allowed to bring back 3 players from IR.

Some added details on CBA being voted on by players today:
—Playoff expansion is pretty much tied to CBA approval. So likely no expansion this year if players don’t approve the deal.
—17th game wouldn’t be an international game for every team. Would be a cap on total intl games.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 21, 2020
More:
—Though player discipline for off-field violations would be heard by a neutral arbitrator, appeals would go to the commissioner.
—The league would still conduct their own independent investigations into such matters.— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 21, 2020
It’s like making a deal with the Patriots. Makes you think. https://t.co/3HA2ZfNZkF
