Aren't the players getting paid right now without even playing?

I agree. Though technically, the worst team in baseball could also win 3/5. At this point, I'm pretty much accepting that this year will be much more of a "crap shoot" than any other year.
True, but the more games you add the odds drop significantly.

about $150k per month for the top wage earners

I remember having the exact same reaction that Blummer had. My son even commented on it. Just a simple "Whoa ho ho ho"...I was stunned by Yordan's power there.

I could swear that Yordan hit one last season that went on the track between the pump and the CF wall. I know someone did.

I haven't seen anything that says payments to major league players were impacted by the May 31st deadline.

minor league players and front office people were subject to the deadline

The March agreement was they players would get $170mm advance on salaries paid in April & May. Where are you seeing they get paid in June?

My point was just that that amount (whatever it is) should be taken into account when referring to what the players pay for 2020 is gonna be.

Owners are fronting that money with no income whatsoever coming in from the clubs.

Networks don't wann move games because they don't wanna compete with football.

All these sports getting pushed to the fall (PGA majors, NBA tourney, baseball) mixed with CFB and NFL is gonna be a mess for networks.

True

And not like it'll affect ATTSportsNet.

Just a general observation that it's gonna be tough for networks fit it all in.

the MVP race would be crazy for a 50-game season. Tons of players could put up gaudy numbers in 1/3 of season

an 89-game season at 100% pro-rated means a player receives approx 55% of his (pre-COVID) salary.

the DOA acronym would be appropriate

50 game season keeps Verlander and Greinke young for another year.

Just blow the whole thing up and just do this season like a World Cup. Pods of teams play a round robin, to 2 in each pod move onto a best of 3 elimination round, then best of 5 then best of 7 and crown "Champion" and move onto 2021

Can we relegate the crappy teams to the minor leagues then?

Astros Phillies 1980 NLCS is on now ATT Southwest. Nolan is pitching. Keith Jackson is doing play by play. Howard Cosell is doing commentary.
