Why should I care? Why should I care whether the baseball players who make much more than I do get a little more money?
Over and over and over again, this is the refrain that many fans sing, the song that they can’t get out of their heads. As an editor for a baseball website that receives millions of pageviews every year, I hear this tune more than most. Now that the 2022 MLB season has been delayed because the Major League Baseball Player’s Association and the league—IE, the 30 MLB owners—can’t reach a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the song is louder than ever.
