I do. It seems likely that at this point MLB's principle objective is to avoid a greivence... I mean he went from 100% certain to not certain the second the players said "just set the schedule". I mean, the players said we'll play however many games you want... and that caused a 180 in MLB's position? A complete surrender on game count weakened MLB's position? That greivence must be incredibly valuable.
Since both sides know that and know that the other side knows it it comes down to an equation... ($X × %Y) + Z$. Where X is the compensation for a won greivence and Y is the percentage chance of winning said greivence and Z is the value of information gained in the greivence process. When MLB concedes that number is when we'll get an agreement.
