2023 Official MLB Season Thread

[frink85]

What’s their opposition to expanded playoffs? Some guys may have to wait an extra week before going to Cabo

honestly besides injury concerns I didn't get this either until:

Why would the players turn down that latter offer?
Because an expanded postseason largely benefits the owners, not the players. According to the terms of the CBA -- stunning use of italics forthcoming -- all postseason television revenues go to the owners. The players, in turn, get a share of the gate revenues, which is a significantly smaller slice of the pie. Given that it's not certain fans will be allowed to attend 2021 postseason games in typical numbers,

yikes.

What MLB, MLBPA negotiations mean for 2021 season and beyond, and why players rejected league's offer

Confused by all the back and forth between MLB players and owners? We're here to wade into those waters

When I interned with the Clippers there was this one dude who sent all the girls in our dept. a **** pic after a game one night. It was like 7 girls

Was he republican? Were the girls like Biden's Administration and told him they thought the package was too small?

Mets already dealt with that Jared ****. Mickey is the Angels problem.

Ok, that makes sense then. Even if the owners took home the lions share of postseason $, players still get something, plus more opportunity for a ring, but that reasoning above seems legitimate. Too bad though...last postseason was fun.

Expanded playoffs probably still happen I think? But it makes sense for the players to hold that card until December

As a Cardinals fan I wish we would’ve kept him, but I’m more than happy we finally landed Arenado.

Talk about a big f up with this one. Where was his verification? Who was his source? I hope it wasn't "the streets" like how DJ Khaled stated during the 2014 NBA Finals.
