“It’s our position that we’ve made a couple comprehensive proposals in a row,” said deputy commissioner Bill Daly. “We’d like to know where they are on all of the issues. We asked them to think about putting together a comprehensive proposal for us to consider. …
“We’ve never heard a full proposal from them.”
A source said that there may be a sense of urgency coming from the players side, and there are indications that they may be coming with “give and take” proposals.
“I don’t really know what to expect,” said Daly. “We asked, I certainly hope it’s something they’ll consider. I think that’s something they’re deliberating on.”
- Darren Dreger via twitter: “Tues will be interesting. If players series of proposals materializes and address some concerns, talks on contract issues will pick up.”
