Offseason baseball Thread

When is the last time a team traded away the "face of the franchise" when he still had something left in the tank? The Mariners with Griffey maybe?

(Or I guess the Marlins with Stanton).

 

No way in hell the players would oppose a floor.

 

To get a floor you need a cap. No way in hell the players want a cap.

 

A floor would inevitably lead to a cap. I doubt the players would ever agree to a floor.

 

You can't arbitrarily implement a floor without linkage. Which means you need a cap.

 

Agreed.

 

Why can't you just have a floor? You can do it. The teams just won't accept it, because then the low-revenue franchises might actually push back against the system.

The floor could be a condition of revenue sharing. If they don't want a floor, then revenue sharing goes away.

The owners have conned the players and many fans into accepting things as linked that don't have to be done together. It's a well-played con, but it's still a con.

 

This is a laughable. Please tell me how they just decide on a floor without linkage to revenue?

 

I said you can have it without total revenue sharing and you can. I already explained how it would work. You are too busy being your usual baseball apologist self to see it.

The owners have you conned. Granted, it isn't hard to con you, but I guess I have to give them some credit because you're not alone.

 

You haven’t explained a damn thing. Cmon rain man put your proposal out there. Yelling floor, floor and apologist is not a proposal.

So tell us how you come up with a salary floor without salaries tied to a percentage of revenues.

 

Scroll up and read, pile jumper. Also, I never said it wouldn't be tied to revenues. That is another failure in reading comprehension on your part.

 

Please tell me this isn't what you pass off as a solution.
