I think you’re right. The union wants to cut a year off the FA mark (6 years) from a system that’s 40+ years old
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 |

MLB said 2019 revenue was 39% local gate and other in-park sources, followed by 25% central revenue, 22% local media, 11% sponsorship and 4% other. No fans = 39% of lost revenue for the industry. There’s just no way to get a LT deal with this overhang. Last year with no fans the players took something like 85% of all revenue even with prorated salaries by one estimate. |

That math doesn’t add up to me. The players took prorated salaries. In a normal year their take of revenue is estimated to be at around 45-50 percent. I don’t believe anything MLB owners say about their books. Here’s a good Fangraphs article that breaks it down: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/what-the...osses-in-2020/ |

I think you’re right. The thread I saw had comments and the only source for the claim was....Rob Manifred. So, yeah. |
