Maybe have it increase 5% a year. $100M is way too much all at once. I do think the PAs (current) requests on the CBT and min salary are pretty reasonable. But insisting on $100M on the bonus pool is going to kill this deal getting done today. Edited March 1, 20224 yr by ChiSox59

Good to know that Jerry is willing to derail his own team's championship window for the second time in his ownership tenure so they can break the MLBPA. Priorities.

March 1, 20224 yr These numbers just aren't that far apart. There is a way here, but I have zero faith in the owners to act in good faith.
