Attendance is a huge part of revenues for baseball
IF THEY STILL PLAN ON PLAYING HALF THE SEASON....
WHY WOULDNT THE PLAYERS GET ATLEAST
HALF OF THEIR MONEY?
MLB owners trying to cut salary by 70% by pitting rich players vs poor players
- Thread starter goatmane
- Start date
MLB has completely dropped the ball on this. They should’ve been back and been the center of the sports world while everything else is down.
Once you account for fees and taxes, technically all of them would essentially be playing for free 
Some people at ESPN actually think that the players should take this deal

Wouldn’t certain players just be better off sitting the year out rather than playing under that type of deal? Would give minor leaguers a chance to get the call-up and get some shine and save teams some bread. That’s if the minor leagues even exist since they seem to want to get rid of a lot of teams.

The NBA and other sports leagues better take note of this as they will likely be due for a salary cut of this magnitude and pushback as well 
It’s one of my theories as to why the NBA keeps pushing back the start date to finish the season. The later the season finishes, the less time there is to negotiate the new CBA which could force players to take a low ball deal just to start the season on Christmas.
It’s also the main reason why I said that the season should have been cancelled so they could have enough time to work out a deal.

Damn and I was excited about DeGoat's Cy Young 3peat.
A strike and the resulting major loses in team value might finally be what it takes to kill the Wilpons. I actually thought, they might offer a fair deal and take a small loss just so they can try and salvage the bottom line.

The complication is that their CBA is expiring soon, so owners are gonna use these paycuts as a bench mark even though revenues will shoot up again.
Tony Clark can’t take this L. If he agrees to this, the players would fire him, and that’s because he let a lot of little shyt slide that’s coming back to haunt him.
So the more likely scenario is that there won’t be a baseball season as the owners likely won’t budge that much from their original stance.

The people I know that work with teams are still optimistic that in the short term they’ll play but aren’t as optimistic about a work stoppage later.

Yeah, they will. They will not have the relevance they have today (which isn't big) with two work stoppages between now and after the CBA expires. Juicing the ball (League mandated steroid era 2.0), hasn't resulted in increased attendance.

Why would you punt a year that you're almost done with and if you're in contention for a championship, quit on? NBA players have to play 70 games to get all of their pay. The rest of their salary may come at a prorated amount, but they got theirs already.
I would assume that other sports leagues are looking at this kind of salary cut as well. They either just don’t officially know it yet or they haven’t started working on the new proposal.
