This is so disingenuous. The issue isnt payroll disparity as much as its many teams refuse to spend much. Either way figure out how to play baseball in 2027

[MLB @MLB]

The biggest issue baseball fans want solved to strengthen the game is fixing the payroll disparity that leaves too many fans without hope of their team competing for a World Series title. Every other major U.S. sport has tackled this problem, and every year more small market teams in those leagues have a chance to win. The salary cap and floor proposal levels the playing field, allowing us greater flexibility to address longstanding player priorities while sharing baseball revenue with the players 50/50.

Today, in addition to proposing the largest ever increase in the minimum salary, earned by over half of MLB players, we accepted two landmark changes to free agency that have been in place for 50 years. We agreed to both the MLBPA’s proposal to provide earlier access to free agency, and their proposal to eliminate the qualifying offer system, a provision players view as a drag on free agency. We also proposed to eliminate deferred compensation and to create a new “Cornerstone Player” provision similar to the NBA’s “Bird Rights” to give every team a fair shot at retaining their fans’ favorite star players.

We will continue working with the MLBPA during the bargaining process to improve the game for teams, players and fans.

Holy shit...

Waiting for the rest of the tweet. No way we are only doing this for 3 2nd round picks

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Just in: The Detroit Pistons are trading C/F Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Pistons clear Stewart's salary and pick up assets while Grizzlies acquire a 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece.

@Charlottean28 The more I read about him I think it was as good of a pick as we could get from starting at 21. We need a guy who can get his own shot and he fits the bill plus has some length where he can also be a decent defender

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@itsAntWright Such a perfect fit for what the Warriors need. Also going to love when he shows up and reminds Draymond who won the title this year

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Last time Warriors picked a Michigan player it worked out pretty well at least for a few years

The Morez stare lives on

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Dammit Cora. How the hell do you send Greene there

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Tork needed to get on there. Now with Jones up that means there are 2 outs

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Go be great coach.

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@sbell021 Not even sure how this is a question

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@Diller9333 @Castellani2014 I'm not saying to play him full time vs lefties but maybe more than 13 ABs this year. Vierling hasn't been as bad as normal this year but he isnt good enough to just bat vs lefties because he's awful vs righties

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@spacemnkymafia Also thanks for wasting challenges earlier

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@Diller9333 @Castellani2014 There is not a righty on our bench that should ever pinch hit for Carp. No matter how bad he is he will he better than Vierling, Jones, etc vs lefties. His homer off of Speier in the playoffs should have gotten him some more ABs this year

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

@UnderHitsMLB @fuzzyfromyt He shouldnt have even been on the ballot. Just started playing last week

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Hate to break it to Hinch but letting Vierling hit for Carp instead of Jones isnt any better.

[Mark Hensler @MarkHensler]

Embarrassing that the best catcher in the AL won't make the next round of voting because all of Canada voted for a guy hasn't even played 15 games this year

@DuncanSmithNBA As long as it is an interim tag I'm ok. Wouldn't have done it day 1 though
