Could it potentially be only 5 votes, if the executive board voted against the proposal 5-3?

I didn't see the word "unanimously" anywhere, but possible I missed it.

Edit: so, this is dated!

Overall vote ended up 26-12, FWIW.

Players can report to spring-training camps as early as tomorrow. Opening Day is expected to be April 7, as @JesseRogersESPN first reported. Transactions unfreeze upon ratification, which is expected to come as early as today, meaning free agents can sign and trades can occur.
Final vote from the eight on the executive subcommittee and 30 player reps, per sources: 26-12 in favor of the new labor agreement.
