Baseball’s lengthy labor talks resumed Monday night with more discussion but remained without movement.

The sides met for about 212 hours in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and more talks are scheduled for today and Wednesday. The union hopes to be able to respond later this week to proposals management made on Jan. 9 and Feb. 26 that would slow the rise in player salaries.

“We continued the dialogue with regard to the current economic condition and the growth in industry debt,” management negotiator Bob DuPuy said. “They indicated they still believe it likely they will provide a proposal to us by the end of bargaining this week.”

Right now, there’s no end in sight to the talks for a labor deal to replace the one that expired Nov. 7.

“In theory, you could go on indefinitely,” union head Donald Fehr said earlier Monday after talking to the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie. “We played the entire 1993 season without one.”

Neither side has threatened a work stoppage, which would be baseball’s ninth since 1972. Since the start of negotiations in January, owners have replaced their chief negotiator, Paul Beeston, who resigned last week as baseball’s chief operating officer.

Management’s delegation is now headed by the triumvirate of DuPuy Selig’s longtime lawyer and Beeston’s replacement labor lawyer Rob Manfred and outside lawyer Howard Ganz.

“We have a lot of work to do, a lot of work to do,” Fehr said.
