    Of course they do and under normal circumstances it's not a problem but when you bring in the specific dynamics surrounding unions it becomes another matter. I worked in management for a company where at the time we were trying to get the employees to dissolve the union, there were never conversations where we lobbied the members and union representatives weren't present. I think it's inappropriate for those types to conversations to take place when I assume the union wasn't given the opportunity to have someone present. To your other point, I hear you but also the description of market size is nebulous to me anyway. Let's take the NBA for example, since 2000 the only titles not won by top 20 metros are San Antonio (likely to be top 20 by 2030 and the 7th largest city in the country currently), Cleveland, Milwaukee, and OKC. If we shift San Antonio to the other bucket it's 21 from 24 (excluding Toronto) in the top 20. It's also 17 that are top 14 metros or bigger. NFL is a little more slanted because of KC but it's still 15 of 25 are top 20 metros and its 17 of 25 if you extend to top 22 with Baltimore. I just don't believe that a salary cap would make baseball any less slanted, the teams are primarily in bigger markets, the top 3 cities have 20% of the teams and the top 10 metros have 43% and the top 20 have 66%.

    I think it's a net positive to have stars in baseball willing to stand up to lodge complaint with the Commissioner coming into the locker room to try to scare tactic the players into accepting a salary cap which I believe will only serve to improve already inflated asset values for hundred millionaires and billionaires. It would be easy for someone who has already made their pile to sit their quietly and let everyone else worry about themselves. Do they let star players walk into owner meetings to counter program?

    See but we don't have to ignore Skenes stats in favor of a much smaller sample size because we already know what he did. I think everyone here loves Miz, it's no shade on him, but 5 starts aside the additional price on our end would be significant, specifically because of his small sample.

    Well seen LaViolette to us a bunch so let's see.
  6. jw5511986
    Go back and read the draft threads from 2021 and 2022 to get a feel for how some on this board felt about our FO and scouting operations.

    Seeing a lot of 'The All Star Game has lost all meaning now' as though 2002 didn't happen, apparently. Good for the kid, this is obviously a buzz play by MLB and by the way they should do more of it considering the struggles they've had for decades now. Promote all the young stars you can.
  8. jw5511986
    I know it was contextual but did you miss what the OP was doing here?
  9. jw5511986
    Murph should lose the player to save the player!
  10. jw5511986
    Reaaaaally hoping it's not Julio Urias.
  11. jw5511986
    He was right but how'd he call the first 2 strikes and not the 3rd one? All in the same spot. Unreal consistency on an already poor strike zone.
  12. jw5511986
    Scott Pod?
  13. jw5511986
    You are doing the Lord's work, please continue.
  14. jw5511986
    Not gonna lie, between Ueck and this news, I think I'm good on baseball for a long while.
  15. jw5511986
    Rare to say it's a guaranteed winner for the Sox but this one is.
  16. jw5511986
    Prepare to be shocked
  17. jw5511986
    Well now we know what Chourio's next contract will look like
  18. jw5511986
    He wouldn't be giving this up by coming to Milwaukee either.
  19. jw5511986
    I'm just saying, I understand it's a long shot but I don't know why we wouldn't be much more in this than the typical FA situation for these types of players.
  20. jw5511986
    Why would we not be serious contenders here? He can only sign for international bonus money and we have shown we develop pitching prospects as well as any. There has to be a way to structure the contract that gets him to FA as a 29 yr old so that he can still make the mega pay day.
  21. jw5511986
    Sure but that's not what was presented.
  22. jw5511986
    What an incredibly weird take
  23. jw5511986
    Sure. To be transparent I've never forgiven him for breaking hand in '21.
  24. jw5511986
    I could see it, I just don't think he has the mentality for the big moment. Or maybe it's a Milwaukee thing and as soon as he leaves he'll be fine who knows?
  25. jw5511986
    Think there's a difference between regular season and postseason sadly, some guys don't have it and this isn't the first time our postseason has fallen apart in some part due to him.
