Pedroia, buddy, I think it's time. You've done everything you could to come back. You've been one of the best defensive players in this generation of Baseball. You got 3 World Series rings. You have an MVP.

Also fuck Machado.

The Red Sox traded a player comprabale to Ted Williams or Babe Ruth. They are fucking morons and the ownership are the rebirthed souls of Hitler.

Okay I wouldn't go that far, but they're still shit.

I feel like we're gonna get a player exodus in the next few years. JBJ, Benny, Devers, etc. Maybe X gets traded too because why the fuck not at this rate.

Fuck both of those involved parties. Yeah, the Astros cheated and fucked their fellow players over but don't you dare try to send them a message.

I hope somebody takes one for the team and throws at Altuve and Bregman the first chance they get.

I saw yesterday that they're working with the MLBPA to allow players to become free agents after this year even if the season is cancelled. Could you imagine it being like Mookie never left and the Dodgers losing again? Lmao.

And the plot twist would be we get Mookie back.

Dump Price, get good players, essentially keep Mookie in a way. Stonks.

It certainly seems that way. And if that happens, it will 100% be on ownership. Their expectation that players will make concession after concession without sharing any of their financials is absolute fucking bullshit, and it represents everything that is wrong with labor negotiations.

The funny thing is i expected this from the NHL, yet they have been able to work together on this and everyone has come better for it.

MLB has just made everyone looks like asses, but yes the owners are the biggest fault in this.

Good stuff from Tony Clark.

“It’s now become apparent that these efforts have fallen upon dead ears,’’ Tony Clark, executive director of the MLBPA, said in a statement. “In recent days, owners have decried the supposed unprofitability of owning a baseball team and the Commissioner has repeatedly threatened to schedule a dramatically shortened season unless players agree to hundreds of millions in further concessions. Our response has been consistently that such concessions are unwarranted, would be fundamentally unfair to players, and our sport deserves the fullest 2020 season possible. These remain our positions today, particularly in light of new reports regarding MLB’s national television rights — information that we requested from the league weeks ago but were never provided.

“As a result, it unfortunately appears that further dialogue with the league would be futile. It’s time to get back to work. Tell us when and where.’’

Players' union done negotiating, tells MLB to simply tell the players when to show up for work

After rejecting MLB's latest offer, the union now is simply waiting for the commissioner to impose a short season, perhaps as few as 50 games.
