@O_T_Lee@3630no6 Series because of where theyre located. Take the brewers and rays. Theyre ran about as well as you can be, theyve been "successful" for long stretches now. Nobody gives a shit because end of the day, they have no chance of lifting the trophy. Cap the big boys, suddenly they do
@O_T_Lee@3630no6 Its good for the league as a whole not just to have the dodgers and yankees filling their park, but to incentivise fans of the rockies and rays to care as well. More fan interest equals more money. As it stands today half the league will never have a chance to actually win world
@3630no6 Correct. A cap only really hurts the top 1% of players. All the morons you see yelling "boot licker" are essentially defending tarik skubals ability to make like 60m a year opposed to like 40 while everyone not on that level will never get a free agent contract
@MooneyOwnsYou@EvanDrellich@chadjennings22 The pa is literally the union. All those dudes would lose their jobs if they did that. It also would be a pretty dumb idea on the players part. This isnt golf where its the individual people follow. Not that liv worked out that well anyway. So unless tarik skubal thinks hes going
@rationalyankee Floor anyway, the whole pa losing their jobs, and next to nothing since the owners would truly have them by the balls come extended lockout.
@rationalyankee Correct. If they were smart in any way theyd accept the cap is happening and shoot for the moon on everything else they want. They could legitimately get service time knocked down, minor league stuff, whatever. But if they dick around fighting it theyll end up with a cap and
@GustaStl60863@joshjaco98 Has 2 older prospects who have to play first in blaze and gurevitch. Hed be a fool not to trade him at this deadline or this offseason.
@GustaStl60863@joshjaco98 Chaim isnt dumb enough to pay mediocre players like mo was. At most youd have him for 2 years after this and the longer you hold him the less value he has to you. Especially the way theyre structured at the moment. He has short term stop gaps if need be, ie Ramon urias. He also
@MooneyOwnsYou@EvanDrellich@chadjennings22 Going to let them walk away without a cap, or at the very least a luxury tax that legitimately works as a cap, and theyd be trying to gouge them for everything else they could possibly dream of. But if Bruce wants to lose his job and end up with next to nothing, good for him ig
@MooneyOwnsYou@EvanDrellich@chadjennings22 Of course the owners can force it. Just keep them locked out as long as needed. They can survive it much longer than the players, or more importantly, longer than Bruce meyer can keep his job. Why do you think tony clark ran away? If the pa was smart theyd accept the owners arent
@Nomadhidinghere@EvanDrellich@chadjennings22 Quite the opposite. Theyre just upset about the cap. This is the first decent move theyve made in the entire process, but its going to be really easy to justify a cap if the owners relent
