Baseball's three-tiered economic structure has been in place since 1976: players make at or close to the minimum salary for their first few seasons; they become eligible for salary arbitration at some point from two to three years of major league service; and they can become free agents when they have six years of service.
With younger players getting to the bigs earlier and performing better (the production aging curve has shifted younger by about 2 years over the past 20 seasons), it makes sense

Just kind of sucks it's going to be as hostile as it is. I could easily see a season or even two being lost to it.
