If they wanted contingencies based on no fans they should have put that in the contract.
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 is patently false.
And the players aren't asking for their full salaries. They're sticking to the agreement from March where they will be paid their per game number.
And no team makes a majority of their revenue from gates and concessions. That's a flat out lie. The players know that because they get to see the financials of every team as part of the CBA, but the general public doesn't know that because there are a lot of media members that carry water for owners to gain access.

I always find it funny when people get pissed off at the agents for DOING THEIR JOB.
Blame the owners for not telling people like Borras to piss off.
His job is to get as much as he can for the players. If the owners break the bank it’s on them.
