Almost 70% of ML players who earned 1 day of service time last year earned less than a million... Key to remember the Scherzer and Wacha's are the exception, not the rule.
What percentage had a WAR > 1?

No idea, not relevant to the point I was making. Folks in this thread are pointing to the top earners and saying they don't understand the MLBPA's position, I'm reminding them the majority of the active members of the MLBPA don't make that money, and are sub $1mm and closer to the league minimum.What percentage had a WAR > 1?

Top players have and will always command outsized contracts and value, duh, but what matters is getting money to younger players and forcing MLB to distribute greater % of their revenue "statutorily" so there's a better rev-share with the league. The players have gone backward in this regard for four years, and they need to get back some ground.
I'm a fan of going nuclear and expanding the MLBPA to include all players under team contract, including minor leaguers. The PA has resisted this for years for stupid reasons, but I imagine it won't be long before this changes.
From what I'm reading, last year's minimum was $570K. Players wants $775k. Owners offering $640K. If you produce, you'll get paid millions more. Cry me a farging river.
Vomit
I thought NFL owners were the worst in pro sports but man, MLB owners publicly dont care about cancelling a month of games.
It's not all of them but its enough. Really, really disappointing threat to the players yet also consequently, the fans.
Great, then you would support the MLBPA turning down today's deal as it comes nowhere close to meaningfully addressing this large problem.But I am all for getting more money to young stars … especially the ones who are already elite at a young age, like Trout, Harper, Soto, Acuna, Tatis Jr.
@geefrogs - Performance bonuses is a good idea.
