March 10, 20224 yr Idk why anyone's shocked there was disagreement within the union and is mad about it. That's all natural.

There was also supposed to be a reward of additional draft picks for teams that have a top 150 prospect and call them up on opening day rather than waiting until April 15. (note that this would not affect the White Sox since they have none). Ok. Those both help a little. At least there are some incentives. The lottery was top 6 picks, correct?

After being locked out, the stalling, the ploys, dirty tricks, numerous arbitrary deadlines, ect the players getting a full service time season with full pay might be their biggest win.

Well considering they are playing all 162, it's not much a win. It would be if they don't play 162.

(note that this would not affect the White Sox since they have none). just based off how baseball works, I don't think a lottery is all that much of a disincentive. There's not THAT much of a value difference between 1 and 7

There's not THAT much of a value difference between 1 and 7 I believe that a team that has been in the lottery the maximum number of times actually drops down to drafting 10th once they don't qualify. But even if they didn't, yeah there's a big difference between 1 and 7, and if you remove the motivation to "lose more games to get a better pick" then that changes the calculus anyway. Imagine the 2019 Tigers or 2018 White Sox not being able to qualify for a pick better than #10.
