" No, I gotta get my money. I'm not playing unless I get mine, OK? And that's just the way it is for me. Like, I'm sorry you guys think differently, but the risk is way the hell higher and the amount of money I'm making is way lower. Why would I think about doing that?"

Just to make sure everyone is clear on what happened and is happening.
The players and MLB signed a contract
The players then agreed, due to the coronavirus, to alter the original contract and take a pay cut.
Now, the owners are asking for a THIRD agreement and for the players to take ANOTHER pay cut.
The owners haven't and wouldn't redo the deals when they make more money. But because they're going to lose money, they are asking for the SECOND time for the players to redo the agreement.
The owners are billionaires. Billion-aires. 1,000,000,000-aires. And "they deserve it because they took the risks". Well, the risk works both ways. That's why it's risk.
They are usually drowning in money, this year they can take a bath
