@jg9188@TheDA53 No, their salary is their contract that they negotiated. The revenue sharing goes to into an escrow. Haven't gotten into the details, but it's probably retirement and other factors.
@jg9188@TheDA53 48/52 split is among the owners only. 48% goes into the pot and is divided evenly (3.3%)to each team. The team keeps 52% of their revenue for themselves. So say PIT makes 100m, they put in 48m and keep 52m. Dodgers make 300m, they put 144m and keep 156m.
@jg9188@TheDA53 My contention if they can afford to pay players after sharing 50% of baseball revenue, then they should be more competitive than they are showing now.
@jg9188@TheDA53 12b split 48-52 is 5.76b among 30 teams and 6.24b owners keep.
12b split 50-50 is 6b among 30 teams. Each team no longer keeps 52% of their local revenue & now have 240m more to share. That's 8m more per team. So unless a teams local revenue was less than 16m they're getting less
@jg9188@TheDA53 Right .. that's your response. Any revenue split that includes more than what is currently used in the current CBA means less for all parties currently involved. But keep on pretending that the owners are trying to achieve competitive balance.
@madisonsaianne@sp1dersports Cal is going to DH more as well. Keeping a 3rd CA allows them to PH the CA spot with Canzone or Raley late in games and not worry about losing the DH.
@CirclingSports@Mariners Curious how they'll get him enough AB's both RH and LH so he can shake off that rust. Really can't afford to see him go 0-30 again.
@jg9188@TheDA53 If they are poor & can't afford to compete, then they don't have enough $ to share 50% with players & have a floor. If 12b isn't enough $ to compete, then 6b won't either.
If they aren't poor, then they're not competing & having a salary cap won't change the way they do business.
@SodoMojoFS He's so back to his rookie year plate discipline, before he started falling in love with the HR. His 1st career Grand slam was the best AB I've ever seen. 8 pitches only 1 swing.
@jg9188@TheDA53 That's the question everyone is asking. #'s don't add up. LA media rights is 334m per year, double what NY's is. That won't make up the 50% split with players at 6b, with annual revenue at 12b for the league. Teams are getting just under 6b split evenly today.
@jg9188@TheDA53 I'm saying they're making way more $ now then that say they do. No way revenue from LA and NY that isn't part of the current CBA covers that. 48% is already being shared among owners now. Floor won't change their mindset about competitiveness. BC it's about profits.
@frogglue@BasedWash_@AngryMariners Have to keep both Garver & Cal healthy. Only way to do that is more DH. Garver can't do more than what he's doing now & Cal's bat will need to be in the lineup as much as possible. If that happens Rob AB will be affected. Might as well just keep the 3rd CA for strategy purposes.
@jg9188@TheDA53 As for funded revenue, how much more revenue is that? More than half of what they currently make? Owners proposal of 50-50 split with players along with a salary floor is a lot of $. Over 6b based on recent #'s.
@jg9188@TheDA53 The floor is the minimum amount the team must spend. It's no guarantee there will be competitive balance. Teams in leagues with salary caps relocate because they'll say they're not making enough $ to fulfill CBA requirements. It has a lot to do with how these owners think.
