"He played 23 years,he still has 2 less titles than Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan played all 82 games 8 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is a 10x Scoring Champion, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is 9x All Nba defensive player, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss. Michael Jordan averaged over 30 in the postseason 7 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss, hes approaching year 24 and still has 2 less titles"

@DodgersAndrew They can still do all the other things great but at same payroll as everyone else. If they’re so good they shouldn’t be worried. Nobody would be talking about the Dodgers if they didn’t sign $1.5B in deferred payroll in a 3 year period. That’s when ppl got sick and tired of it.
@JeffTurek@EthanHullihen MLBPA can add a rider that increases cap and floor in portion w MLB revenue automatically if they’re concerned about missing out on cash.
@JeffTurek Everyone but the players want this. Best case study for why this should be a priority is listening to NFL episode of the Acquired podcast. Elite teams during NFL infancy took less revenue money to split it equally bc they knew a better product as a whole was better for the sport
“I’ve declared it’s the summer of burgers. I’m tired of pretending like there’s other things that we should be eating besides hamburgers. We as men should not be ashamed to be like, ‘Oh you’re grilling? I’ll take 3 burgers” -@BarstoolBigCat

Hypothetical: You’re the owner of an MLB team. I offer to take $0 salary and sign a minor league contract and go to Low A.
If the “he sucks now” crowd is right and I get lit up, you cut me, lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If the “clubhouse cancer” crowd is right, you see it immediately at Low A and cut me. You lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
If there’s massive negative PR, which we already know there won’t be, you just cut me and move on. The story is dead in a couple days, you lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
But, assuming none of those things happen, which they obviously wouldn’t, if you like what you see, you can promote me to AA and re evaluate me there. Then AAA. Then the big leagues. If I earn it, which you’d be 100% in control of deciding. If you don’t think I’m good enough, you lose $0 and there’s no risk to the big league club.
You could take away my “antics”. You could take away my social media. You could ask anything of me. If I don’t comply, you cut me, lose $0, and there’s no risk to the big league club.
What logical reason is there to not do this? At worst, you cut me and there’s no risk to the big league club. At best, you get a Cy Young winner for $0 who you know can still pitch and could help the big league team if and when you see fit.
