There won't be a season this year I believe. The players won't budge and can't win.

Meanwhile the only request from the fans is that both sides stop turning us upside down at the turnstiles and even in front of our own TV sets. Every time you beggars from both sides raise the cost, we’re the ones paying your fat, wealthy asses.
Play ball. It’s that simple. Provide the product and remember where the money is coming from. We may be mostly suckers that will pay until you bleed is dry, but some of us aren’t. Your fan base is aging and dying…

Delayed regular season, apathy could send MLB to a very bad place
...A sport can't get healthy if it doesn't exist.
And until the owners lift the lockout, until a new CBA agreement happens, until players actually take the field, MLB basically doesn't exist.
And in 2022's entertainment universe, there's no surer path to pop cultural hospice than an audience that has grown apathetic and is ready to move on. Commissioner Rob Manfred has said that any lost games resulting from the lockout would be "disastrous." He's right.
Call me Chicken Little if you want, but if MLB loses a significant number of games this season, it may never recover.
That doesn't mean MLB would die, but it does mean it could be left in an emaciated state for which the long-term prognosis is bleak. This lockout is happening at a unique point in history, so previous recoveries aren't necessarily the way things would go this time. There is no guarantee most fans would just forgive and forget the way they did after the 1994-95 strike.
I don't think the owners or the players fully comprehend how quickly baseball could be replaced in many people's leisure priorities. I've written about the poll in December from Seton Hall University that showed interest in baseball already waning among people who describe themselves as die-hard sports fans.
The same poll showed that a majority of the general public has no interest in MLB to begin with.
These findings are not nothing, and it would be foolish for MLB to ignore them or take no steps to remedy them.
Do Me Note:
Keep in mind, a Poll done 2-4 years ago, showed that only 8% of the youth (6-18-years old) had any interest in watching or playing baseball. This is our future reveune
Now if this goes on for a longer period of time = there is no doubt WE will lose even more Youth Fans.
