They are not even talking. This behavior will not be forgotten by the general public.

Hopefully this will at least push the league towards a salary cap. It would pull back the curtain on all the owners that really do not want to provide their fan base with a legitimate shot at contending. I'm talking about the roughly eight owners that do not even want a season to begin with.

Good luck getting the MLBPA to agree to that.

Does anyone think that a few of these owners will put their teams up for sale after this?

Of course they did. They want to get as much moolah as possible. They already got a full year of service time and fantastic FA concessions without lifting a finger.

Players from the golden age would have slapped some of these coddled prima donnas' with all of their crying on social media.

MLB will no longer have pitchers hitting - the union and baseball agreed to the DH in the NL today.

Long over due, we don't need to see .165 batting pitchers again as far as I'm concerned.

The Twins slugger told the newspaper that he is being blackmailed and that Sanchez de la Cruz asked for 10 million Dominican pesos (which is the equivalent of about $170,000) to drop the accusations. Sano said he would sue Sanchez de la Cruz's lawyer, Odalis Ramos, for 30 million pesos (or about $500,000) and also noted that Sanchez de la Cruz was involved in a sexual assault of a young relative of Sano’s. It's certainly a bizarre situation that we're sure to hear more about. “We will continue to monitor the situation and hope to have more as it becomes available,” Twins spokesman Dustin Morse said.

Or worrying about your pitcher pulling a hammy while he tries to beat a throw to 1st.

Watching Lone Gone Summer last night. Great times.

clarenceworley · 06-19-2020, 11:37 PM

Today was the day to come to an agreement. The owners really gave the players a lot of concessions and they still moaned and groaned. I hope they enjoy not getting paid like a lot of hard working Americans. Maybe come Spring, you might come to your senses and realize that all of the other sports are doing just fine with a salary cap. Hopefully, for your sake, people will still enjoy dropping a couple of hundred dollars a night to watch you at their local ballpark.

Both sides are equally to blame. They’re both already digging in for the new labor negotiations. In the end, the fans are the ones who miss what they really need right now.

JayTL · 06-20-2020, 03:12 PM

I'm siding with the players on this one. Especially since some owners said they were happy to not have a season..they'll make money with revenue sharing. But it's a relationship that needs to be nuked and restarted.

MLB isn't countering latest 60 game plan..

But honestly, in my opinion, 60 games is not enough

Batman1980 · 06-20-2020, 03:24 PM

Well 60 games is going to feel like enough when there's 0 games.
