Forcing Nutting to increase payroll by $70MM might actually get him to sell.

The MLBPA should be way more focused on pre arbitration contracts. What percentage of players make it out of 3 years of service time? They should be able to make more than pennies.

At least to some degree I think that change would have to be made I conjunction with this. $100MM for a 25 man roster is a massive increase for half the league. The Pirates could either pay Bryan Reynolds what he is worth or throw $10MM at a scrap heap free agent.

I think the prearbitration is fine, it’s like the entry level contract where the player can go back and forth to the minors.

It’s the 4-6 years. That should be more like restricted free agency than what they have, removing the absolute team control would free things up.

I think the minimum salary cap is the only way to quickly eliminate this hibernation mode that teams go into.

Part of the the incentive to gut your roster is that you can field a team for 30mm in salaries, get high draft picks and market players you have for future value. You can understand why ownership and management could easily align on that strategy.

And you can also win with a slim budget like the rays and a’s, so that further incentivizes teams like the pirates and Indians to chase that model than to spend on players.

The problem is obviously the gulf, and any sort of mechanism that shrinks that difference will go a long way to fixing the game for everyone.

Orioles lost their 15th straight game today and every loss except 1 has been by 3 or more runs. So, if you've taken the run line (-1 1/2) against them during this streak, you're perfect. O's are 6 games away from tying their longest streak in franchise history which came in the first 21 games of the 1988 season.

Yeah, they are showing some impressive futility.

The Phillies got swept by the DBacks today...cannot imagine the odds of that. Sour grapes from this Philly beat writer

I would have thrown him out too. Have some respect for the umpires doing their job.

Umps should also have respect for players. That’s an ump looking to find a problem.

Yeah, at first I thought the belt throw was suspect, but when he explained what happened afterwards it was clearly not done out of disrespect. He was going to get work done in the locker room (or take a dump, which is the other theory)

I looked at Cutch’s numbers and noticed he had a 1.2 WAR, but with a .220 BA. He’s hit 21 homers so far. :shock: He’ll probably get close to his career high of 31.
