2021-22 CBA Negotiation/Lockout Thread (DEAL IS AGREED TO)

[ScruffytheJanitor]

I think there is a decent chance this could actually be overturned, but it depends on the judge.

For starters, Minor Leaguers would get a MASSIVE raises, since their pay is based
Secondly, all the bullshit about "protecting markets" would go out the window, and we might see more than one team (A's, Rays, etc.) get moved to their desired markets.

if baseball lost its' antitrust exemption, what do any of you think would happen? how would it affect the game?

 

Angels will continue to struggle with signing top pitchers.   Just a hunch.

Sounds great. I'm in favor.

We’d probably see another team in New York, the A’s would stay in the Bay Area and ironically the Toronto Blue Jays would lose a ton of money.

Wrong. The Blue Jays would lose a tonne of money

It’s 6 weeks until pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report.

Get back to the table, owners.

Whatever they come up with is going to crap all over the integrity of the sport anyway

Especially the stupid idea of 7 post-season teams in each league!

Let’s just water down the importance of the regular season.   Sacrilege!

[tdawg87]

The owners are all c*nts.

[Slegnaac]

If the season gets locked out, will Albert be able to start collecting on his personal services contract?

 

Asking for a friend....

[Blarg]

He has to accept the option after he retires. So far he hasn't officially retired from baseball. But when he does he can choose not to accept it. 

[eligrba]

Angels paying Albert for another 10 years is cruel.  Dumbest contract ever. 

[rottiesworld]

Stupid owner to give that contract 

[ScottT]

Crickets.

Yikes.

Its "Angels Night!" at The Pond, and the only Angels rep there is the Rally Monkey because players are locked out...

Lol... 2022 is hilarious so far.

I agree.  I hope it doesn’t come down to replacement players this year.  The world is going to hell in a hand basket and it’s easier to deal with when I have baseball.  With MLB players.

MLB lockout, death of John Madden, Betty White and Bob Saget, rally monkey dropping the puck and god knows how many more variants of covid.....

2022 is off to a hilariously disastrous hot start.
