Re: 2019 mlb

Just to show how much I have lost interest in the Redskins...

106.7 WJFK re-broadcast Game 7 of the Worlds Series today from 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM... And I listened to it instead of the Redskins game!

That's cool and I don't blame you, but you don't have to post it 3 times to get a reaction.

Yep, it would be around the 9th inning of a Braves right now most Fridays.

Re: 2019 mlb

Baseball seems to be stalled out at the negotiating table. The higher paid players taking bigger pay cuts percentage wise is not flying. Not a good look considering the shape the country is in right now, especially high paid pitchers. Max Sherzer of the Nationals rejects making as "little" as $5.5 mil working one day a week of a shortened season. I guess he doesn't understand while baseball has great TV deals those fans in the seats pay some bills. I suppose he thinks owners should lose a lot of money.

I don't understand what the issue is right now, are players wanting to be paid the full salary for their contract year or did they already agree to a pay cut and MLB is trying to get further cuts from them?

Re: 2019 mlb

I miss baseball. I cannot believe how shitty negotiations are going. Players have to realize that even if they are right compared to owners they are the ones that will lose in the public eye.

Re: 2019 mlb

All the owners are filthy rich. Not all the players are. Owners definitely have the upper hand right now.

Re: MLB thread

My magic 8 ball says this is not looking good. I understand the players side saying the agreement reached in March for the season should be followed but the reality is the players are going to be hurt by this more than the owners. I am not aware of a single owner whose income is from their sports team ownership. I could also see this having impacts on fan viewership for the future.

Re: MLB thread

When the NBA and NHL are back and MLB is sitting on the sidelines it's going to be a very bad look for them

Yup...the owners are gonna have to take a one year hit in order to not carry heavier losses in the future.

I dunno, to be honest...I’m not missing sports that much. Def not the boring NBA...baseball is gone, but it’s not as bad as I thought.

The quarantine has def woke me to other shit in life.

Re: MLB thread

The latter is true. In March they agreed to a prorated salary but MLB is saying that the terms of proration are negotiable

Actually according to what I read recently, it sounds like, because the MLB Owners are trying to make additional cuts to the original agreement with the MLB Players Union, the MLB players are now demanding their Full Salery.

The whole thing is a mess right now, and at the moment it looks like there won't be a 2020 MLB season.
