Seems like the MLB has dropped the ball once again
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Buster is as connected as it gets too ... shame they wasted an opportunity to grow the game while nothing else is going on for 4-6 weeks

That honestly seems more fair than I thought the owners would do ... pretty decent compromise.
The players should accept IMO

A big difference w/less games tho: less risk of injury for their future contracts

THREAD: Here's how to understand MLB's current offer to the players as compared to its last offer and the possibility of a 48-game season. Original offer: 82 games, players receive $1.03B in salary and $200M if playoffs are played. Current offer: 76 games, players receive $989M in salary and $443M if playoffs are played, plus no direct draft-pick compensation. 48-game option: $1.03B in salary, no playoff money The structure of the league’s last two offers are the same: a 50% cut on prorated salary, plus a playoff bonus. This one, bonus doubled, and with a $50M playoff pool to be distributed to players, it would take them in total to ~75% of prorated salaries if postseason is played. Players see it like they’re getting less guaranteed, which they are. The expanded playoff pool adds higher potential upside, and the dropping of direct draft-pick compensation unquestionably helps some of the best free agents. But players have held firm on 100% prorated salaries. Every day that goes by without an agreement, the length of the season drops. And after hearing from players already about this proposal, the prospect of a 48-game season is looking likelier. They've been asked to respond by Wednesday, according to sources. One high-ranking official today said, in no uncertain terms: “There will be baseball.” The question is: Will it be with the sides agreeing to a deal or with the league implementing a 48-game schedule, no expanded playoffs and almost certainly a grievance filed by the union? https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1270020467911536641

The 76 game offer seems like the ideal one for the players

My understanding was the playoff purse was highest in that case? ... maybe not their salaries of course

Baseball, they labeled it “doping” for a reason.

The start and end dates indicate approximately half a season will be played ... 75-85 games, give or take.

I would say its better than no season at all. I think MLB would further hurt its image and marketing strength if there were no season at all. Of the 4 major sports I really believe MLB has dropped to 3rd in popularity behind the NFL and NBA. They can't afford to hurt themselves further.

I like drafting a guy with more than 2 good pitches

Looks like we’re in for a 48 game season and regular playoffs ... and then a huge lockout in 18 months

Source: MLB reaches billion-dollar deal with Turner Sports to air playoff gamesESPN June 14, 2020 Major League Baseball has reached a billion-dollar deal with Turner Sports, giving the broadcast company continued rights to air playoff games, a source confirmed to ESPN. Read more at: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/2930...r-playoff-gamesMy calculator doesn't go to a billion, but I believe that means 30 teams will get more than $33.3 Million each.

I think there will be, but it’ll be like 48 games with no expanded playoffs ... and a huge labor dispute in 18 months. MLB is so broken
