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.

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.

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

I wish Shane Steichen would hold Daniel Jones to the same standard he held Anthony Richardson #ForTheShoe
Damien retweeted
Stone me to death..
But I would rather watch Anthony Richardson and see what he has
Then watch Daniel Jones go 8-9.
Damien retweeted
I don’t think there’s a HC/Coordinator combo that’s more cooked than this! #Colts just clean house man!
Damien retweeted
It's no wonder why this team has no fight...
Shane Steichen was staring at a marquee win and had a shot to win the game and took the cowards way out.
Coach showed no guts in winning time.
Damien retweeted
Cannot believe the Colts played for the tie. Totally predictable play calling after getting it down the field. Coaching scared!

Shane cost me the coolest moment I coulda had as a colts fan in like half a decade lmao. Nah. He don’t get credit for oh well the team didn’t get blown out . Colts fans expectations are in hell.
