I think a boycott of a cancelled game would be going to an empty stadium refusing to recognize the cancellation?

Maybe the fan union can clarify for us.

When season starts this season do not go stay away. This is fans game. BOYCOTT if season starts

The positive in all this is you won’t have be upset watching the Angels play like garbage 

I actually thought they would play pretty well with Trout and Rendon back for a full season, and guys like Walsh coming into their own. Ohtani too...expected him to have a monster season.

This is the first year in a long time where I felt I wouldn't be upset too often.

the new USFL season starts in april. the start of the MLB season is now delayed. 

Coincidence? I don't think so.

We lasted 3.5 months without baseball in 2020, we’ll all wait this out and come back eagerly awaiting the new opening day

Hope he's not still pushing 800-pound tires around. What's wrong with a nice, normal workout? He doesn't need to be the Incredible Hulk.

Right now I don't know who I hate more, Manfred or Putin.

even with the shortened season, I'm probably going to go to the same number of games I did last year.  And the year before that.

I actually don't like the idea of raising the CBT threshold by much.  And I can see why the owners would push back on that one.  Most teams won't get there and only a select few will be able to take advantage of it.  But I like the bonus pool idea.  Shifting the dough to earlier in a player's career is something I've always been a big fan of.  It would also allow teams to keep their homegrown players.  The entire structure needs a revamp in my opinion.  The money is there.  It just needs to be distributed to the guys who are earning it.  If free agency continues to function like a 'career achievement award' then the system is broken.  

[arch stanton]

The success of a team like Tampa didn't bode well for the players wanting to jack up the CBT. They definitely should have been looking to the floor and getting paid earlier in the process

Can someone photoshop Manfred and Pu+in as the cholos in the bathtub? Thanks in advance.

What I don't understand is why more players aren't pushing for a salary floor.
