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
