Baseball might not recover from this for years. A good amount of those minor league guys may have to retire or find work overseas, which probably will be tough because the market may be oversaturated.
The players are 100% right on this.
Just prorate the contracts for half the season. If you earn 10M a year, you get 5M....or however it is normally paid out (whether it's throughout the year or throughout the season).
I always understood that you cannot de-value contracts in MLB. This was THE reason why Alex Rodriguez ended up in a Yankees uniform and not a Red Sox one.
That won’t work against Mlb playersThey're doing the same thing NFL owners did to divide the players.
