To top it off his contract is extremely backloaded so he doesn't make that much (relatively speaking) this year which means he doesn't lose that much of the season is cancelled.
Even when the players are 100 percent right fans will always be against them bc the general public views them as overpaid adults playing a kids game.But they're also wrong here.
If they said the owners proposal is crap (which is it) and we're reasonable about the fact a major revenue stream is gone for this year I'd 100 percent be on their side.Instead they're lying saying an agreement was reached months ago about them being paid in full prorated which absolutely was not the case with no fans in the crowd.
I absolutely love baseball and watch more of it than probably 99 percent of fans.Im not someone who had a problem with them making tons of millions.As much as I'd love to be able to watch it now basically being home all day even I'm getting sick of these ****ing spoiled babies which is really bad considering how much fans must feel about it.
As it is I already thought there was going to be a strike bc the young players have been getting totally ****ed . The union didn't mind when they could make it up on the back end but these days gms aren't dumb enough to give 32 year olds long term contracts so there was going to be a major fight when the CBA expired anyway.Probably would have been smarter for the players to have an actual contract lawyer run the union rather than a first basemen.
It's actually kind of funny that the owners have gotten away from allowing (mostly) dumb ex players run teams but the players decided it would be smart to have one run their union
