Owners and Ceo’s talk to employees in the work place all the time about a variety of issues.
if I was a player I’d be happy to have access to engage in the discussions…….even if I didn’t agree.
as far as Harper……yeah its easy for him to say he would sit out 162 games……I’m not sure middle infielders and utility players feel the same.
Salary cap and floor has been great for the fans to create competitive balance in the NBA and NFL……big markets have no huge advantage in those sports anymore……Bucks can keep Giannis and the Packers can keep guys like Favre and Rodger’s when they are the highest paid players.
obviously a complicated issue…….until the owners agree to share more revenue it seems like a non starter to me……and I understand why the players have issues with it.
Hopefully they can work it out…….id love it if at some point small market teams in mlb could keep their star players more often instead of having to trade them away before free agency..
