After some dramatics between the umpires and MLB, there is now an agreement between the two for instant replay:Hooray for negotiations. Amazing how things seemed so far apart during Mike and Mike this morning but are all nicey-nice now. Maybe Selig told the umpires that if they didn't agree, Mongo would travel from city to city, drink beer, and incoherently call out the umps repeatedly.The deal was signed by lawyers for the commissioner's office and the World Umpires Association one day after a WUA spokesman went public with complaints over negotiations.
After haggling over final details, the sides exchanged proposals Tuesday night.
"We reached an agreement. Final decision with respect to moving ahead has not been made yet, but we have an agreement with the umpires," said Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations.
