@BrandoMalave I’d actually be in favor of eliminating the arbitration process and letting guys hit FA earlier in exchange for a cap/floor.

@RKromer5 Hold on, I remember it's when they are at arbitration, a system that help teams retain players for a discounted price.

Don’t let people fool you that a cap/floor only helps owners. It could increase money to players and even the playing field. It stops the richest of richest owners from buying wins. Also spreads out money from top earners to more players.
Thomas Nestico@TJStats
Reminder: MLB Owners are not your friends They are going to hammer home that a cap is what the fans want to even the playing field. Don’t let this fool you; these billionaires couldn’t care less about what you or I think. It’s all about maximizing profits. It always has been.

A World Series between 2 small market teams is better for the sport than a matchup between any New York/LA team

It's not as simple as republican and democratic.
He wouldn't have to have these conversations if the President had any standards and operated as a decent man.

#Giants QB Jaxson Dart addressed teammates in a meeting yesterday to discuss his introduction of President Trump last week, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through it. They are moving forward.

"Never know which way I vote" = Republican 100/100 times
Michael Kay@RealMichaelKay
And no one should care what a sports talk host thinks about the issues. So, you’ll never know which way I vote. It’s no one’s business and if anyone was swayed on an issue one way of the other because of what you think my opinion is, well, that’s an issue in and of itself.

Hilarious. They all keep trying to paint baseball's economic disparities as something that can be solved by punishing teams with demonstrably lower revenues. They'll deserve every second they're locked out, with that kind of leadership.
It ain't hard. Every other sport does it.

Reports of LeBron James demanding a max deal from Cleveland are “completely BS” a respected league fixture tells me.
The Cavs have NO intention of paying max money.
However, a homecoming blueprint is mapping out behind the scenes:
The Cap Domino: James Harden is expected to opt out and restructure a team-friendly deal to pull the Cavs under the salary cap.
The Trade Levers: Once free agency hits, the Cavs would have to move Dean Wade in an immediate S&T, followed by Max Strus in a secondary deal to shed salary.
The Framework: Cleveland is hopeful LeBron would sign for the TPMLE or arrive via a Lakers sign-and-trade.
Per a league source: “Unless the Lakers offer him max money, which it currently doesn’t look like they will, the Cavs have a chance to sign him.”

Ok if everyone agrees to let the guardians win the WS this year we can drop the cap idea. Everyone agree?
Brian Rosenwald@brianros1
This is just hogwash. There is no competitive balance problem. Look at the standings. If they propose a cap tomorrow, they're the dumbest, most short-sighted set of businesspeople ever.

@GuardsJoey You are not. Tired of people acting like wanting the cap/floor makes you that. I’m almost always pro player. But the sport would be significantly better off. If anything it’s more socialist to want to spread out the money with a cap/floor.

Am I a billionaire ass kissing chud if I say a 300/130 cap/floor is good for the sport

Major League Baseball is expected to make its first proposal to the union tomorrow. Owners have long planned to push for a salary cap, and the details of it will set the stage for the labor battle leading up to the Dec. 1 expiration of the current collective-bargaining agreement.
English
MLBPA is so tone deaf. I’m almost always on workers/players side. But they just don’t live in reality.
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
The MLBPA made its first proposal to MLB today in collective bargaining. Among the topline issues: - A "competitive-integrity tax" for any team that does not spend $150M - Increase minimum salary from $780,000 to $1.5M - Increase in base CBT threshold from $244M to $300M

As MLB labor negotiations continue today and tomorrow — and a cap proposal arrives — one issue might decide the sport's fate.
MLB franchise values trail the NBA and NFL. Why that's become so important:

He was never reported to look good prior to this. People know that, pretending "he always looks good in practice" is just the latest in a long line of coping that's been going on since he came back to practice late last year

I remember in 2024 Zac Jackson telling us Deshaun looked horrible in practice for those saying he always looked good in preseason

If a GA trade is off the table for the Cavs this is my backup option. This fits with the current backcourt better and creates more shooting.
