@1 While that is true, the MLB strike will also impact the many people who work at the stadiums. In Seattle alone that is probably well over 1000 workers.

@1 +1 Boras is basically pissed that teams don't want to give 32-year-olds 10 year contracts anymore (see "Cano, Robinson"). Fuck the owners, this is their lockout. But get Boras out of the equation and I bet a deal could be struck pronto.

The lowest starting salary for a MLB player is $600,000 - not exactly exorbitant, given the average career length for players is less than three years; and also considering owners generate nearly $4B in revenue annually.

Management is never in a panic. Management is cold and calculating, and hoping that people will think that it's panicking.

@1 silly fallacious reasoning. The typical upside down rhetoric of the American brainwashed where anything short of workers slaving for peanuts is some manifestation of communist greed.

Who cares if baseball players make more money than the average worker. They are the workers in their industry and they are the central product.

The players sacrifice their bodies. They toil in poverty in the minors. There is no baseball without the talent provided by the players.

The owners do nothing but be parasitical suckers off of other people’s talents. The players deserve the lion’s share of the profit off their own labor.


Please wait...
