Baseball, this great game of ours, finds itself in a state of melancholy. Major leaguers have become so emboldened that they are now looking for job security and payment that aligns with their value, while minor leaguers, ever the feisty bunch, are fighting to be paid a living wage so that they can make ends meet. Meanwhile, the heroes of the game, the owners, are fighting to, uh, not pay players or something, I guess. These are truly dire times.
In a bold move sure to inspire the confidence of players and fans alike, fans recently learned that Major League Baseball wants to continue not paying minor leaguers for their labour during spring training.
