No Baseball

There is a chance we may not have baseball this year.

The players and the owners can't decide how they are

going to work out the salaries they are paid.

I can understand the owners not wanting to lose more

money, on the other hand, the players say they should

be paid more than the owners are offering. 

The players have guaranteed contracts, the work stoppage

was forced upon them. They didn't decide to strike. So

how much should they be paid. I have no idea to know

the honest truth. 

The veteran players will do just fine they make a lot

more money than any of us would in a life time. It is

the rookies and those who haven't been around long

enough to have signed a new contract with their 

team or became free agents who will hurt the most.

Major league baseball and the player union have negotiated

about trimming the high salary players the most. The

question is that right too. I am not sure about that either.

I am sure those players can afford to be paid a third of

their contract for one year. On the other hand, should they

have too.

Both sides need to come to an agreement. Losing a whole

season of baseball will not be good for the sport. Fans need

their games. If there is no baseball, however, the NBA and

NFL play it could take years to get many of the fans back to

baseball.

Another thing right now we have no idea whether the virus

will return again next year. So the baseball season could be

shorten again. What if fans have to wait until next June or

July to see a game at least on television baseball may never

recover. Let it happen let's see baseball.
