so, like 101%? 100.5%? Or did he turn his symbol the wrong way? Poorly worded sentence, imo.Quote:
minimum salary players will get >100 percent of prorated pay but close to it.
Being that this was the starting point for the negotiation I think the % will slowly rise in favor of the players.n_touch said:So a half season + playoffs and they would only make about 20-30? Doubt any of them go for that.bearkatag15 said:

Baseball has such a huge opportunity here. And they are going to f*** it up just like they did 1994. It's going to set the game back even further and it infuriates me and pisses me off
Baseball should lead the way, but I have a feeling they will prolong this and ruin it. Would definitely leave a bad taste in my mouth.Pahdz said:Mr.Bond said:

I feel the same way. Especially if every other league finds a way to make it happen.
True.Pahdz said:
When has MLB ever led the way in anything?
I see you've never negotiated a serious contract in the professional world. There are a million clauses and variables built into the agreement, especially in a collective bargaining deal. They're not in breach of contract.MaxPower said:
If the owners refuse to pay full salaries agreed in March and call off the season, can the players just start their own league? I think the owners would be in breach of contract so I presume the players have every right to take their services elsewhere. They should be looking into this and using it as a way to reverse the leverage back on the owners.
This is actually a creative solution. I need to think about the impacts of this some more.bigjag19 said:
Offer the players taking more than a 50% or 60% cut the option to let this season count against their contract or not. For some older high paid vets another year of big guaranteed money could be a selling point.
Then the players should have agreed to some kind of a revenue split arrangement. Then they would know exactly how much owners are making and the pay cut would be evenly divided.CFTXAG10 said:
I think a lot of people feel that way and just want baseball back. One thing I think is a big divide here is transparency. If players are taking these big pay cuts as a % then what type of cut are the owners taking? Do we even know yet? There's a projection out there but what if the owners make more than originally thought? Who gets the overage? Lots of nitpicking going to take place through Sunday
