The MLB lockout continues to drag on. We’re around 10 weeks in, with no real movement nor an end in sight. Pitchers and catchers are supposed to be reporting to spring training next week, so we’re close to officially delaying things.
While this particular work stoppage involves millionaires vs. billionaires, at its core it’s still a battle between laborers and bosses. A pie is being earned, so how much of it should go to each side? The gargantuan size of the pie shouldn’t matter in principle. This conversation is about how much of it should be going to the laborers whose performances we actually tune in to watch.
