@85royal @MikeDro_ @cj_kass46 They’re all billionaires, don’t really care if they lose money. Would rather they just pay the players

@MikeDro_ @cj_kass46 Why are you concerned about the owners making money? Do you want them to lose money?

The MLB proposal to the MLBPA is atrocious You could be a millionaire but you’d still be more likely to become homeless than become a billionaire like these owners, but MLB has done a great job convincing you that players are the problem Nobody wants to go see owners in the suite. We want to see players. Now pay them

@shane_spink @MikeDro_ @cj_kass46 They make money because of the players. Only makes sense the players get their share instead of limiting their share

@MikeDro_ @cj_kass46 Who cares what the owners make. They’re the ones that made the investment in the business. They are there to make money just like the players

@cj_kass46 @MikeDro_ Yeah and it’s only fair the players get a good chunk of the pie considering they’re the reason the owners make money. But you keep on being a cuck i guess

@MikeDro_ that’s how business works 😂 all our bosses or owners at our companies make WAY more than we do as regular employees

@Anthony58312575 @JacobBSpeaks Salary cap isn’t gonna do shit except keep the money in the owners pocket. Salary floor would do more good for the sport

@JacobBSpeaks Unserious? They’re damn serious about it. The length of contract need to be fixed deferred payments needs to be fixed. The sport needs a salary cap and if not need major reform. The players will fold a lot faster then the owners

Owners threw in “no deferred contracts” to pander to fans, yet again. It doesn’t disguise how unserious of a proposal this is.

@JacobBSpeaks Originally i was for the 5/6 year contract max but after thinking about it for a day it’s pretty dumb and I was silly to think it was good. I think a good middle ground is only keep max contract length for player over 30. Players 29 and under can sign for however long

@gayforgambling Nah yall chose to throw your money away

As a representative of the Major Gambling Association we will only accept this deal if the MLBPA agrees to refund all lost prop bets dating back to the spring of 2021.

@YayasHype @gayforgambling Nah cause no one told yall to waste yalls money 😭

@gayforgambling This

@nickbitt29 @OnDeckJeff @WizBetz Nah thats my mistake. Saw a different tweet that i thought explained it more but clearly didnt give me the full story. Hope it still happens though

@Judges_beard @OnDeckJeff @WizBetz Did you read the article? They want legislation

This is a much bigger deal than people think. If MLB somehow gets this to pass, it would be a roadmap for all major sports to follow suit Will be monitoring this very closely

@OnDeckJeff @WizBetz They’re not asking for a ban on betting on baseball, just a ban on MLB advertising player prop bets at the stadium and on broadcast.

@WizBetz It would take government legislation. MLB doesn't own the sports betting and contract buying markets. They could pressure sponsors and partners to ban it, but there are plenty of places with no MLB affiliation.

@WizBetz I hope it passes. The gambling ads are so annoying

@Husky14Scott @GarysheffieldJr What left wing politics do they shove down?

@GarysheffieldJr Some decent ideas there, but I won't come back until baseball apologizes for jamming left wing politics down our throats every chance they get.

My personal opinion on where baseball should go: 1. No salary cap (keeping tax thresholds perhaps with exponentially steeper penalties) 2. Contracts to a max of 6 years 3. Contracts can go 8 years if signed during first two years of career (early) 4. Max contract salary of $40M annually 5. Free agency hits after 4 seasons forgoing current arbitration system 6. Salary floor of $160M …any team that fails to accommodate can do so at the expense of their first round selection the following season (will be drawn to a random team that missed postseason) 7. Cannot receive contracts that surpass age-40 season unless signing what will be a max of 2-years signing after 40th birthday Conclusion: I like the idea of a competitive balance but think it’s overrated D-Backs-Rangers played in the 2023 WS and no one watched while folks say LA ruined the league with exploding postseason ratings Baseball and sports in general should be more so about entertainment than fairness

@GarysheffieldJr I would also throw the ban of prop bets that they proposed

@KnicksBeast This and the helmet catch are two of the biggest moments in NY sports history

Biggest shot in NBA history, argue with a wall.

@zzepac @jovan_deeb Shit needs to be banned across all sports. Just invites toxic behavior

@jovan_deeb People must not realize how much money the MLB makes off of gambling, they show the props on the fkn broadcast 😂 shits not going anywhere

Out on the MLBPA. I’m now with the owners.

@jovan_deeb Nah MLBPA ate with that one. This one needs to stay

@JeffPassan @DavidPurdum Just looking at all the degenerate gambling addicts in the replies, I think this is something that absolutely needs to be banned

The Major League Baseball Players Association wants to pursue a ban on all MLB-related prop bets, aiming to combat harassment from disgruntled gamblers, a source told ESPN. Story about its proposal Thursday to MLB, free and unlocked, with @DavidPurdum: espn.com/espn/betting/s…

@amper0627 @JeffPassan @DavidPurdum Nah absolutely ban it. The advertisements are annoying and no good comes from gambling

@JeffPassan @DavidPurdum DO NOT BAN BETTING BECAUSE CERTAIN PEOPLE CANT HANDLE IT. this is like if we banned driving because some people crash

@JLas43_ Im still taking McMahon’s glove over Rosarios bat all day

Right through the legs. Part of the deal with Rosario. He will hit but he’ll also do that

@TalkinYanks Maybe McMahon isn’t so bad

Ball goes right under Amed Rosario's glove and the Red Sox score

@winnie4prez Ok but why is that a crime? Thats just freedom of speech

I hate Israel with all my soul but, I mean, shouting this at a random Jewish person IS antisemitic...
