Dear MLB and MLBPA: What Do You Want?

Burr’s affliction was that he was consumed with wanting to be in power and to be “in the room where it happens” – that is, making decisions and exerting influence.
How is this relevant to baseball? Well, I might argue that both Major League Baseball and the MLB Players’ Association are suffering from similar fates.
