Attention baseball fans; you are being robbed of entertainment according to the players and big-name agents.
An exact quote from union boss Tony Clark is that teams are “threatening the very integrity of our game.”
Why?
Well you see baseball got a lot stiffer on teams who go over the luxury tax line and really teams that were going over the luxury tax line weren’t winning.
Some are starting to believe there could be collusion to try to bring down salaries in Major League Baseball, but Clark goes on to say teams racing to the bottom is a fundamental breach of trust between a team and its fans.
Oh?
Do you think the Houston Astros fan is outraged now at being the laughing stock of baseball for a few years while they were parading around the championship trophy this off-season?
Probably not.
The Cubs sucked for a while, built quality depth and won as well in 2016
Kansas City in 2015, yep same path to a World Series.
Save your breath on the integrity of the game talk. This is just managers trying to do what’s working.
