End of labor peace in MLB in 5 years?

By Tangotiger, 03:04 PM

I don’t see it.  All the players care about is that a fair share of the pie goes to the players.  They don’t care if it’s big market or small market.

So, the problem is the splitting of revenue between large and small market.  The small market is going to demand more from the large market.  The players aren’t going to care.  Why would the large market teams lockout the players?  To beg the players to allow them to give more money to small market teams?

I do agree that it’s never about “competitive balance”.  That’s just something that people say so the media can dutifully repeat it.
