Exposing MLB's "Everyone Wins" Proposal
Baseball fans have repeatedly told us they have two issues with the game today: blackouts and fairness
We’re proposing to make three major changes to baseball:
1. Entering into a partnership with players where all revenues that are generated are split 50/50 between the teams and the players
2. Implementing a salary cap and floor that will regulate what each team can spend
3. Revenues from media generated in baseball are shared equally by the clubs
This will reduce the revenue disparity in baseball and help us address local blackouts
Major League players’ total compensation would go up and fans would get a more competitive game
It’s a win for everybody

I spent a lot of money on season tix & no one from @MLB asked me what matters to me. You know what does:
- Keeping baseball on the field & not using fans as a CBA negotiating pawn
- Not wasting time pushing a cap that players won't accept
- Fix loopholes like deferred money & sandbagged TV deal evaluations to increase CBT $
- Find level techniques that aren't a cap: 2nd apron, increased penalties for going WAY over. *fixing loopholes does this too
- Acknowledge that giving cheap owners more $ doesn't mean they will spend it.

MLB has issues it needs to correct in terms of spending, but once again, a salary cap will not fix that.
The Yankees and Dodgers should spend more because they generate more money. Popular teams in big markets should be able to put as much $$ back into their club.
If a fan is spending money on their team at least there's some ROI rather than seeing the owner pocket it.
The Blue Jays are a great example. The building is full and the club is spending record $$ on payroll. With a cap, the building will have the same attendance, but that $$ goes somewhere else.
The highest level of sport doesn't need an equal playing field. This is professional sports.

This is comically bad. They’re being very careful and selective of what they’re saying/showing and how they’re delivering it. This is going to be ugly if they’re trying to sway fan/public support weeks before they even lock us out. At the end of the day- they want to drive down salaries and put more money in the pockets of billionaires. Nobody wins except them. Simple as that. It’s not about competition. It’s never been about competition for them, it just is a nice cover up.

Good pit reporter just a terrible play by play broadcaster
.@FoxSports' Jamie Little says she will step away from the NASCAR broadcast booth next year but continue as a pit reporter for NASCAR and IndyCar coverage.

I think I’ve seen this about 100x over the 24 hours.
The Colts do NOT save $38M with a post-June 1st designated cut of Daniel Jones. It pushes the majority of the cap hit to 2028 instead of 2027.
I’d argue this doesn’t help at all. 2028 should be their target to build again.

Will trade Nelson but won’t trade DJ because he prepares well. LMFAO
The Colts informed QB Daniel Jones on Saturday they’re not trading him by Tuesday’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Teams called and the Colts listened. But they never had any intention of moving him. Despite speculation, Jones is staying in Indy.

With the owners' new proposal, it's time to run update my net increase/decrease analysis for player salaries.
It assumes a 4% increase in salary year over year to match historical trends and that luxury tax penalty payments to players go away.
Net -$457 million to players
Because it doesn’t. Every team as it is gets about 120-150 million from the league without considering the fact of their 52% of local revenue. Every owner can spend more without a cap or a rev share change but they don’t want to.
Because lack of better revenue sharing prevents it...
Not sure how this simple concept is ignored by so many

Or hear me out. 12 teams raise payrolls to said amount you admitted they can run and BOOM 636M payroll increase!
