This whole “okay players, you’d rather play a longer season than 50 games... how about we play 76 but still only pay you for 50???” ploy was so, so dumb right from the start, it could have only been hatched by MLB owners. I think everyone expects Manfred to hand down a 50 game season now (with regular sized playoffs because that’s what they agreed to do) and if the owners try to chintz out of playing the pro-rated salaries, the players will file a grievance.
All in advance of labor negotiations that are due to kick off after the 2021 season. Get ready for stoppages...
