I don’t really understand being on the owners side on this.
If they wanted contingencies based on no fans they should have put that in the contract. Which is the same thing they would tell the players if they asked for something not in the contract.

Exactly. If I’m a player right now I only have one sentence to speak to the owners. “frick you, pay me”

Baseball is at a disadvantage in comparison to the NBA and NHL - the owners in those leagues had 75% of their season complete, revenue allocated, and a SALARY CAP. Baseball has had none. If the owners paid the players their regular pay for a short season with no fans, 90% of the league will be bankrupt. Not every team has their own sports networks to fall back on - the majority of their revenue comes from the gates and the $20 beers and $15 hot dogs thanks to the insane contracts that are being dished out to Scott BorASS.

This deal would've been over with very quickly if they didn't put in wording in the initial deal that if we can't allow fans that we will need to renegotiate. Unfortunately they did despite the fact it wasn't looking great for fans to return for a very long time even then.
That being said, I do side with the players on this proposal being arse, although both sides seem to be making this into a shitshow.

This line of thinking is how you end up with no season.

100% and it's what the people kissing owner arse right now ALWAYS say when players make noise about shite they didn't think to add to the CBA. Funny how they don't think it should go both ways.

A March 26 conversation between MLB and the union in which MLB portrays the union as acknowledging that a new negotiation was needed regarding how players would be paid this season could serve as an email version of a smoking gun.
quote:
The Post, however, has obtained a March 26 email from an MLB lawyer to top league officials that documents the substance of talks between two MLB officials and two MLBPA officials from earlier that morning. The email covers seven points, including that MLB explained to the union officials that MLB would need a second negotiation if games were not played in front of fans to determine pay and claims that union officials understood that concept.
Thus, the email seemingly offers evidence that the union was aware that further talks were potentially necessary.
