So you're OK with the owners keeping all of the increasing profits?

I would be thrilled if the owners and players each said, "hey, we've got enough. let's cut ticket prices and give the fans a break," but that's not going to happen.

The players *are* the game. Is there a number where you would just turn down a raise, and tell an owner worth over a billion to just keep whatever extra revenue you bring in?

Looks like I can add MLB back to the list of sports I won't watch. ** -- MP4VT2004 03/01/2022 5:18PM

I stopped in 1994 when the billionaires canceled the millionaires Series ** -- Mighty Fine Catch 03/02/2022 09:03AM

Stopped watching in 1995--haven't missed it. ** -- vthhhi 03/02/2022 12:04AM

Baseball been berry, berry good to me… ** -- VaTaz 03/01/2022 7:12PM

In US MLB watch you. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 03/01/2022 5:47PM

I'm with you.. Baseball was my sport growing up and I loved it-> -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 5:39PM

They lost me decades ago during the last big labor dispute. I never went -- Hoakie82 03/01/2022 6:44PM

Agree...It just took 2 of these to finally kill my love for baseball ** -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 6:46PM

A pox on both their houses. -- RoswellGAHokie 03/01/2022 5:33PM

This stoppage is 100% on the owners. ** -- BB Hokie 03/01/2022 5:48PM

It is NEVER "all" on one group of the other. Why do you say that?** -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 5:50PM

Well, to start with, they locked the players out... -- BB Hokie 03/01/2022 6:01PM

It would be malpractice not to lock them out. The alternative is let them -- RoswellGAHokie 03/01/2022 6:50PM

MLB has the same or better competitive balance as the NBA and NFL... -- BB Hokie 03/01/2022 7:37PM

Good. Anybody starting at a minimum of ~$600,000 does't need a union. -- RTFC 03/01/2022 6:21PM

So you're OK with the owners keeping all of the increasing profits? -- BB Hokie 03/01/2022 7:23PM

Yes. If the stands are full, people agree to pay it. -- RTFC 03/01/2022 11:00PM

You will NEVER get players to agree to a salary cap, so baseball will -> -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 5:41PM

One can hope. I've reached the point of rooting for... -- MP4VT2004 03/01/2022 7:12PM

Then you will ultimately be undefeated. It may TAKE a while! ** -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 7:41PM

Agree completely. Neither side will agree to the things that are needed to -- RoswellGAHokie 03/01/2022 5:44PM

Since it appears that both leagues will adopt the DH, does that mean -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 5:38PM

No..but it may not matter anymore. Baseball's committing suicide ** -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 5:42PM

Good point about the suicide reference. I guess I don't see the point -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 5:53PM

Well maybe that will help with rivalries. I hadn't really thought about it ** -- HOKIERIT 03/01/2022 6:51PM

I doubt MLB, the owners, or the players thought about it either. -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 8:20PM

MLB still exists? I stopped paying attention the year MLB decided -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 5:25PM

Let's Go Mets! ** -- Brown Water 03/01/2022 5:29PM

Landing spot of Franklin County’s only major leaguer, Ron Hodges. -- RoswellGAHokie 03/01/2022 5:37PM

I guess that means you aren't a (G)Nats fan then -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 5:33PM
