Jeff Passan just published the most recent update at how MLB got to this point (both sides share the blame), and what the future may hold: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29313238/will-there-baseball-year-not-jeff-passan-breaks-mlb-ugly-labor-fight
This reads as an objective attempt to provide both sides of the argument.
If neither side is willing to compromise, the season could be lost. The sun will continue to rise and set and the earth will continue to spin on its axis. The fans will accommodate and will develop other interests. The result, both sides will be losers as a new, post pandemic normal develops. The vital step is to get past the pandemic.
