@John_A_Nguyen@BaseUnstitched If you’re emailing yourself a pros/cons list on why you should stay playing when youre 24, you don’t love what you’re doing.
@John_A_Nguyen@BaseUnstitched "(Baseball has) never been a top priority for me. This is a job. I do this to make a living. My faith, my family come first before this job. So if those things come before it, I'm leaving”
@John_A_Nguyen@BaseUnstitched ..I emailed myself a pros and cons of why I wanted to stay in the game. This was in 2014. My thought process of the game has not changed since then. I keep making it this long."
@John_A_Nguyen@BaseUnstitched "My enthusiasm (for baseball) has been the same since I got drafted to be honest with you. I was actually deleting old emails because my storage to my maximum in my email. So I'm going back and deleting old emails….
@MikeNoelck@KodyDuncanPGH A true salary cap would incorporate a full revenue sharing split like other leagues. That’s already been a big point in the deal. Including a 50/50 revenue split with the players, who claim they already make more than 50% revenue which is why they won’t do it.
@DTG616 Because they have a bunch of young players who deserve a chance to see if they stick. Last year they paid Carlos Santana $11M to play 1B who had a 82 OPS+. Young guys are not just trade assets.
@DTG616 Not to mention the whole player specific piece of things… they have a bunch of young guys that need to prove if they belong, why spend 3x on a guy who you already know isn’t very good when you can test a young guy who could be better. Mets might benefit from that
@MadChad10@iKezims He’s familiar with Houston, and beat one of them out for playing time at the big league level already this season… you don’t think Houston told him he’d probably get another chance this year? Good try though, maybe next time.
@ActualDavidP@BaseUnstitched Pro tip- the MLB is highly based on regional revenue… there’s a reason Steve Cohen didn’t want to buy the Marlins for 1/2 the price he spent on NYM after missing out on LAD for $1B more than Miami sold for. Nice though, there’s always next time.
@mike94474486@BeisbolKrish players claim to make over 50% of the current MLB revenue. That includes sponsors, concessions, whatever you want to include in that. MLB revenue was $12B, players made $6B+ between salaries, benefits, etc… if they only have $500M and owners have $2B which goes faster?
@Tomko_1@TheAmericanGrl Holy shit you’re stupid as fuck. Do you really think people are just going to think random ass pictures of people getting arrested is because of Covid? Put a little effort into your lies next time.
