It may not be solved in our lifetime. And too much fiscal irresponsibility has threatened our way of life which wasn't sustainable with the leadership or lack of we've come to know.

Hearing a LOT of rumors about a certain player agent meddling in MLBPA affairs. If true — and at this point, these are only rumors — I have one thing to say... Scott Boras, rep your clients however you want to, but keep your damn personal agenda out of union business.
100%
Say what you want about Trevor and his quirks, the guy is smart and understands how the world works.
I agree. In fact his intelligence is severely underrated. If not for Miguel Montero and old school baseball thought, Trevor may very well have given the Dbacks some really good years.

Whenever a season starts back up, does anyone have a problem if we celebrate putting Dale Murphy in the hall with it?
George Foster should be in as well.

Major League Baseball made official what was expected since Sunday in formally rejecting the MLB Players Association’s 114-game proposal, sources tell ESPN. MLB is not countering, which brings the possibility of it implementing a 50-game season into play. First:

Is a 50 game season worth it? I mean injury considerations by players and limited sample size could hamper free agent contracts if the player craps the bed.
Covid issues even without fans
Seems like 50 will not be accepted by the union.
Greedy owners won’t enter into good faith negotiations with players. Glad to see MLBPA hold the line.
Both sides are making a HUGE mistake. I personally side with the players (except Chafin who can suck on it), but they are not without fault.
This should have been handled weeks ago...quietly...behind the scenes. Now they look like total jackasses

yes, the side of the negotiation that is
1. asking for merely their contractual pay, and
2. is actually assuming risk of contracting the potentially career altering virus
is the greedy side of this equation.
The players SHOULD be asking for more than pro rata pay given they’re completely shouldering the risk of getting COVID. That they’re not and owners still aren’t happy betrays their greed.
like, if you signed a contract for 100k and your boss said “I’m paying you 80k because well otherwise I’m not able to go on my yearly Hawaii trip” would you be siding with your boss?
30 million unemployed people would gladly take the 80k. The players whining comes off as extremely tone deaf. Of any of the major sports, baseball players are least likely to interact with each other on the field. They are least likely to have COVID interactions, but whine the most compared to other major sports. They and their players union whining is extremely tired. I hope they cancel the season- they aren’t essential to anyone’s well being.
July 1 is approaching rapidly and still no agreement on how many games to be played and how much to pay the players....and then there's all the other details to be worked out. It doesn't look promising...what's that cliche, "For the love of the game."
