No Major Movement

Baseball owners say they expect to make the first move when talks resume Wednesday in Washington after a 40-day break. But don’t expect major movement.

“Thus far, the union has been resolutely unwilling to address the economic problems of our game,” Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten said. “The other three sports have done that. They alone have not done that. If that doesn’t change, nothing is likely to happen.”

The union made the last proposal Dec. 22, and owners responded by breaking off talks and implementing their salary cap plan the following day.
