Tampa Bay Rays fans awaited reaction to the owners’ proposal to the players yesterday, although we all pretty much knew the result beforehand.
I’m still holding out hope for a Tampa Bay Rays season, but it’s not looking good at the moment. The owner’s initial proposal included a revenue-sharing model which was declined in epic fashion by the players. Including a Twitch rant by the Tampa Bay Rays own Blake Snell.
The second attempt was pitched on Tuesday. It included a sliding-scale model in which the highest-paid players would end up taking the largest pay cuts.
