I am not for the OWNERS. I am FOR my TEAM having a fair shot just like any other team. I do not care about anything else. The players will still be millionaires and the owners will still be billionaires no matter what happens.
The only reason the Dodgers get to make Kyle Tucker the most paid player in baseball is because they have the HIGHEST TV deal in baseball. Sorry that is UNFAIR. Small market teams do not stand a chance.
Dak Prescott still makes $60 million a year in a CAPPED league so I do not want to hear the excuse that is suppress wages. That is the biggest myth going around.
A cap and floor is the way to go and if it takes 3 years to happen. I DO NOT CARE.
The MLBPA's response, in part, to today's proposal: "The owners responded today with a demand for a salary cap system, something generations of players have fought against. The last time the owners made such an explicit push for a cap—over 30 years ago—it led to the longest work stoppage in MLB history. For generations, our members have fought against cap systems because they harm players at all levels, erode or eliminate contractual guarantees, pit player against player, lead to more work stoppages, not less, and get worse for players over time. Caps don’t lower ticket prices for fans, eliminate tanking or ensure teams are run with equal competence. They suffocate competition by offering owners an all-purpose excuse for inaction and mediocrity."
