The collusion is real
Back to back years of the top FA's still being on the market until February is pretty suspect

Wild man, and those 2 are tying it up for other guys like Pollack, Moustakas, Keuchel etc.

It’s a new era with analytics and front offices having a stat for damn near everything
It’s going to get progressively worse the next couple years leading to talks of a potential strike

It’s more so the way funds are redistributed to bad teams that caused the original problem.
Whereas NBA have salary floors so that even if you tank, you still have to pay guys and hit a certain salary cap, MLB has no salary floor, a team can sit there and do absolutely nothing, add no talent and still get paid from other teams.
It’s created a pseudo-economics, where only a few teams will spend. And other teams actively collude to drive down wages to avoid helping teams that won’t commit salaries.

More of the former. He might play a few games to spot a couple guys early in the season like he did last year and go back to his FO position

During Ken Griffey Jr's peak of his career (1990-1999), his WAR was nearly 20 points BELOW Barry Bonds' in that exact same time period (pre-allegations).
Barry is the GOAT.
The way MLB, NFL and NBA treat their future employees is unbelievable for multi billion dollar businesses. Minor leaguers, college basketball and football players, what a joke.

Of course they’re going to say they’re going on strike, but we’ll see if it actually happens

We've said it time and time again. Major League Baseball owners could lose money every year and it does not matter one bit. Their franchise goes up in value by hundreds of millions per year. It's like owning the Mona Lisa and complaining that you had to spend a couple hundred thousand a year for the best staff to clean it.
Larry Dolan bought the Indians for $323 million. Forbes currently values them at $1.045 billion.
Bob Castellini bought the Reds for $270 million. Forbes current value: $1.01 billion.
David Glass bought the Royals for $96 million. Forbes current value: $1.015 billion.
The Nutting family bought the Pirates for $92 million. Forbes current value: $1.26 billion.
The Ilitch's bought the Tigers for $82 million. Forbes current value: $1.225 billion.
The Pohlad family bought the Twins for $44 million. Forbes current value: $1.15 billion.
These are middle of the country owners located in the conveniently phrased, "small market." Remember these numbers when the long con continues of how "we just can't compete, we don't have the revenues."

^I thought that the HOF did away with allowing a player (or in this case his family) from selecting which team he wanted to go in as? I thought that after the Wade Boggs thing, the HOF selects team for the player?

I get that it's their decision now but I remember Doc himself saying that he'd want to go in and be remembered as a Jay,wish they'd grant his wish...
He signed an honorific contract to retire a Jay for that very reason,I don't get their reasoning

Would’ve rather have kept Puig
CF is a need, and so is a right handed bat...but we had that need before we traded two right handed bats smh
