Players want more pay to play a game that most would kill to play for free at that level.

Owners are getting tired of having to provide contracts for single players that is the GDP of some small nations.

No clue on a happy middle ground.

What would be cool is if players were paid a NICE minimum salary at the MLB level so that they are all rewarded for being in the show. Then figure a formula that pays all players at a rate that reflects their recent past production.

No way to get parity in the league because if you're in the Yankees or Dodgers system, you're in the land of moola. If you're in a small market then the money just isn't the same.

Believe me, I'm not against players making an incredible amount of money but when you think about it, just how many of them would turn down a $30M 5 year contract to play ball if the only other option was having to actually "work" for a living.

Owners should lower prices for fans. That would require players not asking for unbelievable pay days. Without fans the sport ain't shit. And neither is our card board.

In my eyes, they (players/owners) should take better care of the minor leaguers and consider the fans by making it affordable for the ordinary average guy.
