This gimmicky proposal with 14 teams making the postseason and possibly playing 6-game series during the season does not appeal to me at all. Manfred will kill the game if he's not removed.
I don’t follow you there, friend. Owners have lost money. Why shouldn’t players? Millions across the country have lost money. Why are players different?If the owners are inflexible about paying full salaries the union should give them the finger and say see ya in 2021.

That's not part of their contract. If a pitcher blows out his arm in spring training and misses a year we don't ask him to go unpaid, do we?
No, but this is totally different. If a pitcher blows out his arm In spring training, the season for everyone else goes on. Games are still played and watched on TV. Tickets are still sold. Owners still have revenue.
I mean, this an entirely different situation.

My opinion, and my reason for my disagreement with Phormer's post.... it's just a total PR nightmare for everyone involved to openly argue about money right now. There may well not be a season in the end (I have no idea) but that simply CAN'T be the reason.
