I don’t really understand being on the owners side on this.



Thank you I have been saying this for weeks now, I dont know why posters on this site are siding with the owners.

Both sides are a shite show. Greedy owners and whiny arse players.

No one is side is absolutely right but...to me the owners have a point. The players are worried about 2 yrs from now and making concessions that will set precedence. Well to me any arguments / concessions today arent factorable in 2 yrs (unless covid 20 hits) and players are mildly to somewhat pissed at owners for letting veterans sit and not paying their asking price in F/A... But they brought this on their self terms of control of rookies.
Jack Flaherty was massively underpaid in 2019 but the veterans put the rookies at 500kish numbers to get more money for vets but then got pissed at owners for "ok 30 yr pitcher that went 14 /8. You want 5 yrs 110 million? ..let me think about that" (because we have a really good kid at AA)

Unlike basketball, baseball fans are fans of teams, not of specific players. The owners want what is best for their teams (and their own wallets). The players want what's best for themselves. Often, the players getting their way can ultimately hurt a team. I absolutely understand why the players aren't budging, but I will still be a Braves fan long after, for example, Freddie Freeman is off the team.
