WHO?S REALLY TO BLAME? PART ONE.
Totally Tigers
I'm so tired of reading all of the articles and listening to all of the media spewing the players as the good guys and the owner's as the bad guys. Both sides consist of greedy assholes that are only looking out for themselves. Anyone who believes that the players are only looking out for the best interest of baseball are fools. That couldn't be further from the truth. The players are looking out for the best interest of the players...as they should.
The players got screwed in the last deal, the owners aren't letting up. Revenues increased 27% and they want a 6% increase in the cap. Revenues are way up and salaries are down, all the players want is for salaries to follow revenues.
Analytics have shown that mid tier free agent contracts are rarely worth it for the team so they've gone with younger and cheaper players. 60% of the league makes the minimum, something needs to change to get people paid earlier.

Tigers? cheap bastard owner Chris Ilitch opposed even modest hike in CBT threshold.
Four owners voted against even the $220M threshold in owners? proposal.
