Yeah I really don't think either side will push this into the regular season.
I don't see the Union fighting to the death for minor leaguers and low earners when they have just witness the owners shelling out records deals.
We'll get a salary floor, FA guaranteed at 30 (So late bloomers like Josh Donaldson don't miss their prime FA years), and a changed bonus pool for rookies to let high performers earn more.
Not sure if owners will give up 7 years of control so I imagine that will remain with tweaks to the service manipulation loopholes.
