United during negotiations, MLB players divided on deal
The eight-man executive subcommittee that appeared to be most involved in the nearly year-long talks voted 8-0 Thursday against approving the five-year contract. Team player representatives, the overall group supervising negotiations, voted 26-4 in favor, leaving the overall ballot at 26-12 for ratification.
Players on the exco, as it is referred to, are veterans for the most part at the top of the salary scale: Mets pitcher Max Scherzer , Yankees pitchers Gerrit Cole and Zack Britton , Texas infielder Marcus Semien , Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor , Houston catcher Jason Castro and free agent pitcher Andrew Miller .
The committee differs demographically from the larger player group, with seven of the eight born in the 50 United States and Lindor from Puerto Rico. None were born in Latin American nations and none in Asia.
