I don’t think the union too interested in the owners money from non-baseball events. And not every owner owns the stadium…
-
Maybe. Looks like 3 guilty verdicts plus a settlement…
-
The owners just cancelled games and told the union that the games the owners are cancelling will not generate pay for the players. Despite the existence of contracts and lack of a strike. Not only are the owners doing anything they want, they’re blaming the union for it…
-
Three times before for collusion…
-
I think we can all agree that there is a baseball team in some league actually named the Kentucky Wild Health Genomes and that is spectacular…
-
Get a podcast…
-
Right. Not a compliment. Just not in negative sense and nothing wrong with it and all your favorite announcers fit the bill, but therefore anyone in this category must go…
-
Right. So “hometown yuckers” is a compliment, but their absence, to use your words, will be a “refreshing change.” Yeah most of us are sick of all those things we like.
-
I’d blame both sides, but one of them is trying to negotiate while the other is just shutting stuff down as they walk away from the table, and then blaming COVID…
-
The owners have more expensive and therefore better lawyers. I.E. they can do what they want…
-
Please God, no! What is the logic here? Shaughnessy wasn’t available?
-
But if they create a scab league, you won’t get any players with union aspirations. So it’s not like Casas and Bello come play for the Red Sox, but we might get Kyle Hart and Devlin Granberg…
-
Absolutely Manfred is a puppet. And not a very good one. His speech about the state of baseball revenues suffering “over the last 5 years” due to the pandemic was ridiculous on multiple fronts. Not only was only one season affected, MLBs revenue grew over the previous 4 season to a record $10billion in 2019 while the aggregate payroll of the players was actually shrinking…
-
I don’t care if the owners only care about money. (What business owner doesn’t?), but if that’s the case get your product together so you can make some. If they want to save money, learn to say “no” once in a while. No one put a gun to Chris Young’s head and said “Give Corey Seager $325 million or else!” Sign the CBA and live with the repercussions of being cheap. I’m fine with that. But don’t line yourself up with a $220 million dollar payroll and then tell the players “you need to stop me from doing this!”
-
It’s not so much about blame during the negotiations as it is the owners stopping everything unnecessarily with a lockout and transaction freeze and closing spring training and cancelling the first two series (and counting) and then telling us “but fans are the top priority!” Now a transaction freeze and lockout probably helped the Red Sox, Dodgers, Yankees, etc. in the short term. But the reality is everything could have continued under the old CBA until a new agreement was reached. And while the players might have grumbled, at least we would not be in a situation where the owners are taking the game away from the fans piece by piece…
-
Manfred is getting hard to believe. The owners repeatedly take away every aspect of the game and then blame the players for not capitulating. They’ve turned into movie villains who kill onset extras with ease and then turn to the hero and drop the blame on him by saying “See, if you had only given up, I would not have had to do that.”
-
So not a fan of pitchers walking 10-15 hitters a day with 88mph fastballs?
-
Of course for a lot of them, that “outside business” includes broadcasting baseball…
-
Have you ever passed on a chance to take a dig at people who don’t see things your way?
-
I have a plan. If we offered the players and owners 50% each, both sides would reject it. So clearly we need an arbitrator to step and each side 60% …
-
No, he’s right. But they’re working the list from the bottom up…
-
I think we’re starting to throw around the word “need” a bit liberally here…
-
So apparently actual progress in the labor talks today. However to get in a full season, they need a deal by 5pm EST today. Unfortunately for the owners, their new deadline is now after the automatic renewal for MLB.tv and numerous subscribers cancelled en masse yesterday…
-
I’d be against both sides but the players have been the easier side to deal with in the negotiations…
-
So what about prospects on the Sea Dogs?
