(Spoiler alert: It's not real, and the EBITDA projection means nothing with how easy that is to manipulate. Especially for a business like MLB where amortization can influence so much of the on paper accounting.) But... amortization is not a part of EBITDA...

ramssuperbowl99 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Smart by the owners to pit the players against themselves. And smart by the union to respond aggressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSUeagles14 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 at this point lets just skip the season. Owners will be able to take the short term hit, a good # of players will really be hurt by this. Theres a reasonable solution for both sides they should be able to come to, just fustrating that it isnt happening. players are going to look awful in this, and quite frankly people dont care enough about baseball where theyre guaranteed to come back (viewership) if a year is missed.

Dingo18287 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I’ve been optimistic about MLB returning, but starting to doubt it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, i would take a guess and say a majority of the country realizes that athletes in their 20-30s are so far away from the "danger zone" its laughable. Especially considering in a game like baseball where theres little to no physical contact and plenty of spacing between players. When snell or any other player say millions of dollars isnt enough, its a really bad look. I personally dont care what players make in a normal year, imo get every cent you can, but these arent normal times. The public is going to be against the players, very likely players will be against other players, just go to the table willing to negotiate a reasonable deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
