MLBPA proposal thoughts?

[Vanimal46]

Since Steve Cohen took over and started spending like a drunken sailor in 2020 the Mets have made the playoffs the same number of times as the Twins (2) and won exactly 1 more playoff series than our lowly bunch. 

Gee whiz, it’s almost like Steve Cohen would end up being a horse **** owner if he didn’t spend hundreds of millions more on a team compared to the league.

Not concerned about the primary Mets fan here demonizing the billionaire owners. He's holding on for dear life that the Mets can still buy whoever they want, because if the financial playing field was actually leveled, they will end up as the equivalent of the New York Jets. Completely irrelevant. 

Live shot of the guy who thinks Harper and the player's union is looking out for the little guy.  (He's also so happy those poor folks stopped getting taxed on their tips!)

I wish people wouldn't resort to personal insults and class comments when discussing how MLB is going to resolve their next labor agreement. Maybe I'm way off on this but it just doesn't seem necessary. Perhaps give your point of view and clarify further if you desire. At the end of the day none of us has any say in how the negotiations develop and play out.

The last time isnt important. Its the next time. 

And if their members arent getting paid while while the season is in progress they'll cave. Quickly. 

And if they don't? Who cares? In a few years you won't know the difference and we'll have a chance at a competitive, balanced league. 

Just implement the MLB proposal and say take it or leave it. 

How'd that work when the owners tried to do basically the exact same thing in 1995?

They were found to be negotiating in bad faith (which they were, and would be again) and were forced to return to the old agreement, meaning they essentially pissed away the 1994 World Series for nothing and achieved zero of their goals they were trying to negotiate for in the first place.

This would be the worst possible thing the owners could try to do.  Legal precedent says so
