@baseballisdead_ @Jared_Carrabis @jayhaykid @DALLASBRADEN209 @tylermilliken_ @TheMikeSalk listened to the segment today on 710 with Shannon and thought of this convo from Dallas. Really good insight from a former athlete regarding kanzlers lack of MLB experience

[Derek @DerekDunphy]

@EnragedMsFan Quite literally evidence that Dan was not a “ obedient puppy dog “. Multiple articles were produced through the latter half of the season detailing that. Kanzler is a modern analytical guy which will follow with the synergy the org wants. Ala brewers or rays.

[Derek @DerekDunphy]

@RoofTopMariner If you’re going to make weird fucking comments at least do your research and be accurate. He was outrighted to Tacoma on Monday then proceeded to elect free agency.

[Derek @DerekDunphy]

@Thegroz Former player Dallas Braden discussed this topic on baseball is dead. Good segment surrounding that topic https://t.co/Wsvj0DJCCq

An open letter from me to fans who want a Salary Cap in MLB

I’m sorry to tell you this but as a fan you have almost no power

The league has a plan to pay owners who don’t try to compete

The Luxury Tax payments ensure they profit without competing

Until MLB gets rid of that, you have no hope with an owner that puts profits over playing to win

Being for a salary cap is silly for a few reasons

It’s not happening
It would not help teams compete
It punishes the players
It is solely a tool to standardize and lower payrolls which enhance organizational values, which are already astronomical and rising!

This is the way it is
Thoughts?

I would love retweets if you agree, I really think a lot of average fans have been misinformed on these issues

[Jeff Spiegel @JeffSpiegel]

MLB literally admits that a salary cap wouldn’t change the thing they claim to be standing up for on behalf of “fans” (outcome based competitive balance) 😂😂😂

[Jeff Bates @jeffbatesx]

Dear Salary Cap Cultists

But wait there’s more!

The owners OWN players for six years in baseball! That is SIX YEARS that players get no say in what they make or where they play!

Six years!!

Stop with the but it’s not fair BS! If anything isn’t fair it’s the fact that players are drafted and owned for SIX FREAKING YEARS!!!

Here is @IamTrevorMay saying it much better than I can! Enjoy

Brewers-Rays. Bought and paid for Goliath v. Goliath. When will the little guy ever get a chance in this rigged sport? SMH

[Larry Stone @StoneLarry]

If Cleveland wins the AL pennant, the World Series will be MLB's smallest market (Milwaukee) vs its lowest payroll team (Clev) -- or No. 25 if Tampa Bay rallies. Call it an anomaly, but absolute worst-case scenario for ownership arguing that a salary cap is essential for parity

[nugget chef @jayhaykid]

The Tampa Bay Rays (28th in payroll) beat the New York Yankees (3rd in payroll) in the ALDS, winning every game! Time to lock out the players so we can create a league where small market teams can compete with big market teams.

[Derek @DerekDunphy]

@SavageDipoto You should probably take the advice he’s giving out after this weird ass tweet

[Derek @DerekDunphy]

@thejagepage @SavageDipoto I think folks just want him to sit alone in a room contemplating why he hates his life and is having a bad season the way Jaren Duran did for the Red Sox. They hate that he doesn’t wallow and wear the struggles outwardly

[Hannah Krieg @hannahkrieg]

right wingers when millionaires tax: making $1 million a year is not that much! they worked so hard!!
right wingers when ferry workers: you make $150,000??? Shut up and be grateful!!

[Casey McLain @TheCaseyMcLain]

Hey Vinod, many of your most loyal fans lived through the Sonics moving and constant threat of the Seahawks and Mariners moving. This is a sensitive subject. As a steward of one of our most storied institutions you need to be sensitive to that

@BenVerlander Since you don’t pay attention to the mariners outside of looking for clicks, all indicators point to Dan wanting to do that and Dipoto did do that exact thing today. Woulda been easy for you to find that before tweeting

@JacsonBevens It’s easier to say you’re unfamiliar with how Raul is viewed within major league circles
