Not sure how often I agree with Bob Nightengale.

"Let’s see, we had Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker chastising the players for opposing MLB's revenue-sharing plan, saying they owe it to fans to take a pay cut and play ball during this horrific economic crisis caused by the pandemic. Never mind that the narrative is false.

Former All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira urged players to bow down to MLB owners and accept their revenue-sharing proposal for the good of the country. Never mind that he earned $213 million in his career.

...

'After this agreement was reached,' Boras told USA TODAY Sports, 'you can’t come forward with a dynamic and say, "Hi, I want to privatize the gains and socialize the losses."'"
