That way we can start the internet and fan harassment campaign to get all 8 of those jackasses to sell their team, take their money, and never come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramssuperbowl99 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) lololol EDIT: So the total for 60 games pro-rated is ~$1.5B. In exchange for the extra $150MM or so versus the 54 game floor that the owners would have to actively try to cancel, the owners want expanded playoffs for at least 2 years that will net them way more than $150MM AND the grievance dropped. The only reason to accept this offer is because it's the best they'd get, not because it's actually good.

Let's get this done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and this settles at like 65 or 66 games. Manfred released a statement: Normally, I would say releasing a press release about a "basic framework" would mean that it's basically 100% that a deal will get done, but Rob Manfred is a ****** canoe who doesn't know what '100%' means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses me off the owners look to come away winning here but that's what happens when you're leveraging what you have and just wanna play and get it over with. Players need to start seriously looking into ways to expand player equity otherwise this'll just keep happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe everyone is expendable and disposable players don't have many options when the owners don't care about the game The proposal a few pages back about how the players wanted to add special events/tournaments to the season as a showcase of some kind sounded great. baseball needs some spicing up I didn't bother with this wacky playoff format before. Are they doing 3 game series in the first round? Otherwise baseball playoffs will just be like NBA and take too damn long found this gem also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If next year is a full 162 though? that's insane, the entire point of 162 is that you play enough games where you don't need 16 teams in the playoffs.
