I’m ok with shifting but think it is a bit ridiculous when there are 5 guys in the outfield.

Come on, if you want to concede on something big, offer a bigger bonus pool for pre-arb players. That $20 mill comes out to just over half a mill a team.

Technically he was already a professional baseball player but we know what he meant haha

Jeff Passan fucks.

I want a live stream of this for 8 hours a day on MLBN if this happens. Would definitely help my work day.

There should be a different standard when you are in the sports/entertainment business. When you're buying a team, you should want to invest resources into it and put the best team on the field. No fans are going to cheer for being the most profitable.

Right? So many guys get paid near league minimum for their best years. I honestly think a bonus pool of the like $115 mill they want for pre-arb players is fair considering that’s under $4 mill a team. Actually seems like it should be an easy concession from owners.

Hopefully but man I just don’t see it.

Harold is right. They signing Castellanos.

He had zero MLB experience, same with the guys you are rooting against ?

Damn. That then lol

Jeff Passan looking to get fired from MLBN lol

His first contract was also 6 years/ $68 mill. Most of these players won’t even see a fraction of that.

Fixed.

One side made proposals. One never bothered even countering. One side decided to go into a lockout. It’s pretty obvious which side is at fault here.

What about the owners and their almost non-existent proposals?

Last minute deal not looking so good huh? Well at least there are 4 days left.

Goodbye sponsor.

Yeah I would have liked them to get a bit more stretched out in the minors, especially since you could have recovered a year of control of Kopech. Also kinda wish Vaughn would have been in the minors for like the 12 days it would have taken for the extra year considering he played in like 4 games in that span.

Mask mandate is being lifted in Cook County on Monday, correct? I want to go back to the gym but it was rough going while wearing a mask.

A year they should build their innings would be again shortened wasting another year.

Obviously we would all prefer them to not miss games but that doesn't seem realistic at the moment.

You would rather lose games at the end of the season and post season than games early in season? With the last statement I was just saying if they are going to miss games, better to miss at the beginning.

I don’t think this will be a “last minute” agreement that gets completed before this soft deadline. I think it will be after and they lose regular season games. Would rather lose games in early April than to finish the season early though.

Ha I switched to T-Mobile last summer so I’m definitely going to take advantage of a year free whatever day it is they offer that.
