If everyone could be an MLB baseball player, the minimum salary would be much lower.
You’re just proving you’re not looking at this from a neutral perspective. It’s 100%, “they make more than I do and I’m mad about it”.
McGarnagle

must’ve missed this part while responding to it at the same time??:
JUST BECAUSE THE PLAYERS MAKE MORE MONEY THAN YOU
DOESNT MEAN THEY SHOULD SIGN AN UNFAIR LABOR DEAL.

It's not the small market dweeb owners pushing this than guys like Henry and Steinbrenner FWIW.
Bryce Harper is looking to go Tokyo way and play for the Yomiuri Giants.
No. I just find that the plight of a multi millionaire that has had it so good to fall on deaf ears.

nah, more like I couldn't care less about the 1% fighting the 1% over how they'll split up billions

How poor do you have to be when it's no longer socially acceptable to have your employers exploit you and illegally bargain to stack CBAs against you? 80K a year? 70K? Federal poverty line?

If he goes there and has success, does he become the true #1 player to ever play the game?

Probably until you get sick of it because you know for a fact you’re arguing with brick walls. Minds are made up and that’s that!
Oh yes the players are getting so exploited by getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a season and all that money is guaranteed. Meanwhile there are some guys who are living on food stamps in the minors that they don't care about. Because they haven't paid their dues and made it. As far as I'm concerned the mlbpa can go pound sand.
Co-signed. They (owners & players) are killing the game. I can see a time when MLB & MLBPA will be in the position of having to contract in order to avoid collapse but they will never cooperate, they'll let it die before working together to save it. And that's what I mean by killing the game. Each side keeps trying to nuke the other into oblivion but it is the game that takes the hit.
f***.them.all.

As lockout drags on, poll indicates MLB could be charting path to irrelevance | Sporting News
Attendance at a 37 year low, and falling for 5 straight years.
The average nine-inning game in the 2021 regular season lasted 3:10, the longest ever.

people are just saying things without actually paying attention to what is happening, they just default to their norms and don’t care about reality
Like “each side is trying to nuke the other into oblivion” was legitimately said about this negotiation, it’s just not even worth discussing. They Clearly haven’t been reading anything that’s been reported on it. Only explanation. Which brings me to my thrice repeated post- why do some insist on having opinions when they clearly don’t care about this topic enough to pay attention? Bananas.

It's more profitable than ever. I don't buy the "baseball is dying!" narrative like we need to change everything. Just because the NFL lapped everyone in terms of being a revenue-generating TV product and other leagues are growing doesn't mean the MLB is a declining sport. The market is very much still there. That narrative is just a smokescreen by which Manfred is trying to shoehorn his dumb ideas into the game.
Drop dead. Neither side has ever had clean hands when negotiating a new CBA.
lol classy, classy.
Provide examples from this negotiation please of the players trying to “nuke” everything. Was it when they were trying to make concessions while the owners weren’t or was it when they were trying to be reasonable and negotiate in good faith while the owners delayed and delayed and then tried to slip obviously unacceptable things in through the fine print at the negotiation deadline? While the owners tried to pressure them through the media with deliberate false info? Which part of that screamed “the players are nuking things” to you?
Again, you and others are just saying things. You’re not actually paying attention to what’s happening.
newsflash for you and some others- you are allowed to research a topic before commenting on it, just a heads up.
I guess I’ll go drop dead now
