Techdirt reports that Major League Baseball plans to repeat a questionable website tactic during an upcoming lockout. The outlet looks back to the 2021 owners' lockout, when MLB essentially scrubbed its website while owners and players negotiated a collective bargaining agreement.
According to the article, the upcoming lockout is expected to bring similar website games again. Techdirt does not provide precise details about what MLB will do this time, but it frames the plan as a repeat of the earlier strategy rather than a new development.
Because this is the only source available, there are no conflicting accounts to compare. The report presents the website plan as a deliberate move tied to the labor dispute between the league and the players.
