Players will take the obvious bait and get smeared. (twitter.com)

I guess this means none of the players had a Pandemic clause to get paid full salary. -- nm - Peglegpete May 26, 16:38 9
- The MLBPA signed a deal in March that guarantees them about half their salary if games are played. The owners are pulling a Darth Vader. -- nm - David May 26, 16:41 8
  - From what I'd read, no one bothered to actually say "What if no fans are there." and they all just nodded and continued onward - Will Hunting May 26, 16:58 7
    - I disagree. The MLBPA did exactly what it was supposed to do. The union protected the players. The owners are trying to impose a salary cap now. - David May 26, 17:10 6
      - Both sides are negotiating. The players said they solved it in March. - Will Hunting May 26, 17:16 5
        
        As soon as they open the books to prove their poverty I’ll believe them. Until then they can pound sand. -- nm - spamlet May 26, 18:52 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty May 27, 05:08
        
        They did solve it. They willingly renegotiated when they didn’t have to do so. Now owners are trying to get out from under it. -- nm - David May 26, 17:17 2
        
        There was a clause in there that said substantial changes. No fans is a change. -- nm - Will Hunting May 26, 17:34 1
        
        Back in March, everyone knew no fans was a possibility for them to play this year. -- nm - David May 26, 17:43
Owners: the highest paid people should take a pay cut. Also owners: We mean players only when we say that. -- nm - David May 26, 16:38
So I guess there won't be baseball this year -- nm - Krusty May 26, 16:34
"Very funny. What's the real offer?" -- nm - Reagen May 26, 16:32 1
- Maybe it's a test to see how much other players hate Bryce Harper? -- nm - David May 26, 16:38
