Michael Kay mentioned yesterday that four owners voted "no" to the last offer made to the players.
It had modest increases in the luxury tax threshold starting at 220 million and rising up to 235 at the end of the deal. He said it takes just eight owners to vote down a proposal, and they already have four owners who won't vote yes to a 220-235 luxury tax.
I'm no fan of Scott Boras, but if small market owners have this kind of pull and power, then the big market owners are going to have to put pressure on the small market owner to stop their crap or sell their teams!
