I don't either...but...the expanded playoffs and it's format isn't set, far from it. In fact that is one of the players biggest weapons right now
Manfred is counting on the "fact" that long term, true baseball fans will stay around no matter what changes he makes He is trying to add new...
While what you say about the strike is very true, I don't think comparing this to 2020 will hold true While there were people with strong...
Baseball was still "new" in 98 and 99 down there. While attendance would certainly crater later on, in 98 attendance for the Rays was over 2.5...
You can call me out on my comment all you want, but you are wrong on this one bud. Not sure why you seemingly took my initial post on this...
This 100%
Lol Yes they absolutely would have reported without one. For them the value of their contracts is the same for games in April as it is for games...
Wrong though It doesn’t “become” a strike If the lockout is ended players go back to work unless they “declare” to be on strike I don’t favor...

Just saying that yes, I was referring to athletes not every day Americans, because this is a discussion about mlb, which is made up of mostly...
Probably could have attached that pick to Wall, took Westbrook and got the 2027 first we wanted If not, the pick certainly has trade value Our...
Yes I do, because this is a discussion about MLB And actually many athletes do a great job of putting money away for the future, you just don’t...
600K might not be much to a lot of mlb players, but it is a LOT of money I don't disagree a majority of them likely don't manage it well, but...
Also, I don't think they "want to hold out as long as they can" so much as they want serious negotiations. They give in on a huge portion of this...
I fully understand there is a huge difference between the more veteran players and the young guys, and the leadership of the mlbpa is made up of...
