It’s unbelievable (literally), especially when you have idiots like John Mozeliak trying to claim baseball isn’t “very profitable” while just his initial investment in the team has grown by more than 2000 percent since he purchased it.
The owners are being foolish and short-sighted, IMO.

I agree. On top of it the owners thought this negotiation would be a cudgel int the next CBA in 2021.... which has backfired and galvanized the BBPA.
We'll see. The 50 game season will be amazing. The owner will push for a salary cap again...Then will the player strike in 2021? I dunno.
