Giants' Evan Longoria Responds to MLB: 'I Just Want to Get Paid for Every Game'

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria threw a public jab at Major League Baseball after the league office released a statement saying it was "disappointed" the players' association walked away from the bargaining table.

"I just want to get paid for every game that we are out there. It's simple," Longoria tweeted.

MLB has sent the players a number of proposals to resume the sport, all of which call on them to take a significant pay cut beyond the prorated salary they agreed to in March. The players have responded with counters of their own, which call for them to be paid their full salaries for games played.
