It is hard to argue when an unproven rookie makes $850,000/year. It is easy to argue when Mis and Henderson make $850,000. That is what extensions are for. Both Mis and Henderson betting on themselves is dangerous for both of them. It is also risky for the Brewers to extend.

In a perfect world Priester and Harrison would just pitch to their capacity. 1 Mis 2 Priester 3 Harrison 4 Henderson 5 Gasser In the not so perfect world of reality it can be so much different. Hopefully Harrison has figured out what was ailing him and is back at good first half Kyle. I would start Priester in the pen and let him work his way back. Let him be the righty version of Ashby. I am sure the organization has an appropriate plan of action. Drohan and Sproat should continue to improve. Crow and Hardin stay in AAA for the start of the year. I would not spend on a Free Agent, but would look for another young arm through a trade.

How much is put into pensions and other benefits per team?

Sounds like a good short term plan.

I agree that they are not factory workers. Maybe the owners should offer them commission contracts like high end sales people? 1 million dollar salary for position players and $100,000 per home run and lose $10,000 per strike out.. Pitchers get the base 1 million and $10,000 per strike out, but lose $100,000 for every home run they give up! Add in any other incentives you would like. I would watch that all day long.

I don't get the revenue argument. When a dude goes to work at the factory does he care about a paycheck or revenue? The owners are willing to put up an additions 3/4 billion dollars in salaries. Who cares about revenue?

1. Sign Sir William 3 years/$75 mill with an additional 4th year with a team option at $25 mill with a team with a $5 mill buyout. Either 3/75+5 or 4/100. 2. Extend Made. Switch hitting middle infielder that can run and built like a linebacker don't come around very often. 3. Listen to offers on our other talents. Andrew Vaughn (assuming Jake Bauer stays), Garrett Mitchell, Sal Frelick, Joey Ortiz can all go, but only for an great deal. I think our pitching will work itself out with Priester and Zerpa coming back and Sproats and Drohan improving with age. We also know that Harrison can pitch well, we just need to get him over the line. Mis,Henderson and Gasser are a good 1,2,3 Priester at 4 and Harrison at 5. Maybe Woody on a cheap contract and limit his pitch count until September.

By offering the cap and floor the ultra-rich and cheapo owners just get eliminated. The ultra-rich cannot spend as much anymore and the cheapos have to spend more or get out of the game. I think it boils down to the MLBPA and their greedy contract chasers and maybe a little bit of Boris and Company.

.75 billion dollars is a lot of additional spending if the current floor offer was accepted.

Will revenue sharing include the LAD sharing their Japanese tv rights?

So I won' be able to make double or triple the amount of my piers. Textbook definition of greed.

I don't get the players side. The Floor will increase salaries 738 million a year. The cap will reduce salaries 473 million a year. That is a net increase of 265 million. More money in my pocket! There is no way the spenders like the Dodgers and Mets can reduce salary in one year. It will take a number of years to get to the cap. So the rich boys now will not get hurt, they just won't be able to spend more for a couple of years. The savers will be forced to spend immediately... to the tune of 738 million. If I am a pre arby or arby guy, I am like "Let's get this thing done".

With the new floor being at least $180.2 we should just sign Contreras.

It seems like the owners are giving in on just about everything. MLB increases cap and floor in latest proposal, sets 2028 target I am pretty sure everything will be worked out before the start of 2027. Some of the things will hurt the Brewers (International Draft), but not that much. Not too specific on revenue sharing. With a $180.2 floor they should definitely sign William Contreras.
