It would be like if your boss gave you a $5K raise and quoted you the raise based upon the impact of that increase over 30 years (i.e., a $150K). If you actually go back 3 weeks - they are getting closer and closer to a mid-point between where the players initial extreme offer was and the owners and where there extreme offer was.

If they split the difference, it's now less than a minimum salaried player per season. And they seem willing to sacrifice even more to try to "win". Ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - although its why I am optimistic because it is starting to get to such small amounts that people should just say - okay lets split the difference and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's $175 million out of likely greater than $50 billion. That's less than 0.35% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing that can't be bridged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The pre-arb gap is down to $125M. So will the players now counter with an offer that starts at $60M and increases by $5M per year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The greatest thing about this if they finally come to their senses, is the next week or so is going to be like the NFL, NBA, and NHL free agency combined.
