The ugliness started before negotiations between MLB and the players’ union even began Tuesday afternoon.
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.
