That's an incredible disconnect but partially explains the increasing mystery as to why an agreement had not been reached.
In the article quoted below it means what PLAYERS on teams voted against, not how the team ownership/management voted. The players union apparently votes by team, not popular vote of all players in the union. Who knew?
MLB insider reveals teams that voted against the new MLB CBA by Aryanna Prasad March 11, 2022 fansided.com
These votes go against the eight MLB players who form the MLBPA executive council, which are Andrew Miller, Max Scherzer, Francisco Lindor, Marcus Semien, Zack Britton, James Paxton, Jason Castro and Gerrit Cole.
Considering these eight players who are leading the MLBPA effort and who unanimously voted against the latest CBA measure, it’s clear why these four teams voted against it: because the MLBPA union executive board plays on most of these teams. Scherzer and Lindor are with the Mets, Miller most recently played with the Cardinals, Castro is with the Astros, and Britton and Cole play for the Yankees. Paxton also spent two seasons with the Yankees in 2019 and 2020.

Miller played with the Yankees and Lindor is an idiot. And former player Tony Clark is the leader of the players union.

His position should be untenable but who knows.
I figured it had to be personal. They were close on the basic issues and stuck on the amatuer drafts (USA and potential international), which are about people not in the players union. What percentage of those drafted reach MLB and become union members? Plus, 59% of MLB players get less than one million dollars. The eight executive committee guys get big bucks, even Jason Castro: $48 million career through 2021, Caught 33 CG in 2021,
| 2022: $3,500,000; | | salary increases by $250k for every 10 games played as C in 2021 |
So that's, what, $4.25 million in 2022?
How come none of the 59% getting less than $1 million are on the executive committee?
