MLBPA doesn't look particularly reasonable as a negotiating party.


Why would they be? They beat the owners every time. Easily the most powerful union in sports.

There's no incentive to make concessions.

Advocating for players to charge market rate is now socialism?

This is accurate, but the public opinion is heavily in favor of the owners. MLB PA should be trying to get out in front of this and make proposals and get some good PR.


I agree - one thing the PA does have going for them is that the media that covers baseball is almost 100% pro-player any time all the time and they will absolutely pimp for the players. But the guys that rep the players starting with Donald Fehr and going onward still manage to mismanage that advantage and still come out looking badly.

This might be too simple of a thought, but if the floor rises overall wouldn't that be better than the top always carrying the weight. If 10 bottom feeders start being competitive and increase overall revue, I would think thats better than relying on the 4-5 "big market" teams to carry the load.


I'm down this this.

Yeah, they make a lot of money, but they spend a lot of money too.

The owners can afford a season or two off. The players outside of the superstars can't.
