Blake Snell on Proposed Revenue Sharing: 'I'm Not Playing Unless I Get Mine'

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Blake Snell is ready to remain on the sidelines this year if MLB owners continue to push for revenue-sharing with the players.

While chatting on his Twitch stream, Snell told his followers anyone who thinks money shouldn't be a factor in returning to play isn't thinking the situation through fully.

"I'm risking my life," Snell said. "... It 100 percent should be a thing."

MLB owners approved a proposal requiring all clubs to split revenue 50-50 with the MLB Players Association in a shortened season and will now look for player support to strike a deal.
