• New enough (created Dec 2). Long enough (> 5500 characters of narrative text). Article is rapidly developing but appears to be well written and cited. Earwig did not detect issues. Hooks are short enough, interesting, and cited. Personally, I think alt 3 is less hooky than the other 3 which are all strong. DYK needs to be added before this can be passed.

• Cbl62, forget ALT3, I probably care more about the Rule 5 draft than anyone else outside of the industry. QPQ provided now. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:45, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Good to go. Cbl62 (talk) 03:54, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

ALT2 to T:DYK/P5

Article title change, when (if) the time comes

I presume, should this lockout continue into January 2022. We'll be changing the article title to 2021–22 Major League Baseball lockout. GoodDay (talk) 02:08, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Of course. On January 1. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
