I would think safety would be a key issue that needs addressing. It's a game changer...pardon the expression.
Think about it...if a player ends up sick from lack of safety precautions, he could take it back home and get his family sick, as well. I posted a link in a thread that was tossed into the land of the baned (OTD) that mentioned 23 rule changes. I guess that was just a list of possible changes? Not sure. It'll be interesting. I just hope they keep people safe. |

Yes! Safety better be one of their top concerns, but it should be that way for all businesses that are starting to open up their doors again for people to come back into the workplace. I hope the MLB does not just let fans come back in like nothing happened, and personally I would be fine if the games were only televised to limit the number of people in each stadium to just the players, staff and reporters/broadcasters. And I hope they do not look down or penalize a player or staff member if they do not feel comfortable coming back because they are concerned for a loved one.

Would you as a player agree to split revenue with another group of people who have never divulged their finances in any detail?

I hope they can work something out soon. Yes, we're looking at a bastardized MLB season but it's better than nothing, especially right now when nearly no content is being produced. Imagine near Last Dance levels of interaction for the MLB had they figured out how to put a safe product on the field. It would have been cool to come out of this lockdown with a bunch of new fans.

The owners proposal is so terrible and so obviously not close to even being considered that it makes me think they secretly don't want a season at all and have some sort of insurance policy to cover their losses.

Things like this won’t help relations either...

The MLBPA agreeing to subsidize the owners' losses would, in my opinion, be a mistake.
The owners can afford to eat it for a season or two |

Core problem is MLB needs a salary cap and fully-realized revenue sharing. Then there would be a collective interest to get back to work on both sides. But the way it is now, with the amount of money at stake, everyone is all over the place on both sides; it's a huge mess.

Salary caps look great on the surface, but a) they suppress the salaries of the people who are the show, and b) they result in terrible, terrible trades because teams have to consult the capologist all the time to make sure everything financial balances out. I want to see rebuilding teams be able to turn things around quicker (if they have any smarts) by trading their veterans for prospects, with no regard for money (aside from perhaps sending some to the receiving team to sweeten the deal, and increase the prospect haul). There's already a soft cap anyway. That's plenty of suppression of player salaries in my view.

I'm detecting some facetiousness in Brad's post, but just in case there wasn't...Uh...Yeah...Unless you want an absolutely out of control wildfire, while we're still on the first wave of this thing.
