This is 99% the owners fault and 1% on the players for still employing Tony Clark. What a shame.
(Brandy) only hinted at Halladay's personal issues during her Hall of Fame speech last July, when she said, "Roy would want everyone to know that people are not perfect. We're all imperfect and flawed in one way or another. We all struggle."

Man, fuck the owners. The line about how the "billions of dollars of ticket revenue" is "required" to pay the players is ridiculous.

My favorite part was the "players think they should get all the revenue, think of the other employees!" like multiple different teams didn't say they were going to stop paying people until the players shamed them into it by offering to pay themselves.

Not that there's a good group of sports franchise owners but MLB owners are the absolute worst.

They are horrible but honestly the NFL owners piss me off more. The only reason they don't see the same kind of labor disputes is because of the size of their players union (53*32 = 1,696 players in the union vs. MLB's 40*30 = 1200), and they have set up the labor contract to more effectively exploit class divisions within the players.

They are both bad but in a head-to-head in the evil tournament I think NFL owners take the victory.

Oh yeah. That was something that I'd seen that had (rightfully) irked the players in the past couple of days w/r/t the owners crying poor.

That works out to about $11 million per team per year. Just saying.

Sure, you guys are right, but I'm mad and can only focus on one thing at a time.

True, but that's still $11M per in a new deal for what amounts to basically a handful of games, on top of many teams (including the Phillies) already having very lucrative local TV deals for the entire season. It helps the owners' case exactly none as they continue to attempt to cry poor.

Things are falling apart in the last few minutes. Looks like the season is cooked

Source: In a letter today, MLB told the MLBPA there would be no 2020 season unless the players waived any legal claims against the league.

Phillies will avoid paying Arrieta his inflated salary but lose Realmuto's cheap last year and Bruce's cheap last year. Seems like a big loss to be candid.
