Mostly it would be a win for the fans who don't want to see their franchise players leave, especially in small markets, so yeah, it will never happen.

It's the play they have to make and the smart lesson to learn from 2020.

I need Parkman confirmation.

If only there was some sort of analysis that could be done to answer this question so as to eliminate all of your hurt feelings.

Honestly if you look at the rate we went from the first million dollar a year contract for Nolan Ryan in the 1980 season, to Alex Rodriguez with his $25 million a year deal only 21 years later, it is kind of amazing how much we slowed down in the next 20 years, even in true dollars, let alone when you compare it to what revenues have done during the same time period to Max Scherzer at $43.3 million per year in 2022.

Or And this might be crazy... But if you see such an offensive and objectionable thread title, keep on scrolling past it.

Supposedly both sides agreed to it along with the universal DH.

The reason I feel like Bruce gets info is if you listen to him talk AFTER news comes out he supplements that news with information that could have only know if he was in the know ahead of time. He has details that weren't previously public. But as is most of the Chicago media, he is well trained to keep his mouth shut until it is time.

That is excellent.

Oh, are you saying there was an ulterior motive in offering a specific arbitrator? Almost as if they knew it would be rigged against the ownership group? Huh, I wonder why the owners offered arbitration then? Was it almost a PR ploy which had no real chance at working? Nah, the owners would ne...
