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.

Let pitchers hit again.

I don’t even have words for how back baseball is — literally, figuratively, culturally, economically. It never left, obviously, but somehow it is also so back

[sally, titan of industry @sally124445]

+1, it just works. Like you pay 40 bucks for a fridge magnet and you get your brain back

Deeply humiliating to realize how much this overpriced chunk of plastic has improved my quality of life in just a week.

Mamdani: today we have learned what New Yorkers have long suspected: that Andrew Cuomo is Donald Trump’s candidate for mayor

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Stealing my Cyclone campaign ad?
A little pathetic.

Doing it without the Nathan’s hotdog?
Go back to Westchester.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Here's a fun thing that a top donor to Andrew Cuomo's super PAC just told me.

Today we celebrate the 59th anniversary of Griswold v. Connecticut, the landmark SCOTUS case that first legalized birth control and recognized our right to privacy in family planning matters. #ThanksGriswold💖

The big takeaway from tonight's Virginia primary results: abortion was a top motivating factor for Democratic voters
