Do you mean to choose to sit out the season even if they play?Is there any doubt that Lindor would sit if he got service time??
Yes, him choosing to sit if he can opt out of playing and still getting credit.Do you mean to choose to sit out the season even if they play?
This is counting as a year of service time for Lindor regardless of what else happens.
I mean, he's still under contract next year as well.Yes, him choosing to sit if he can opt out of playing and still getting credit.
Meaning, we may never see him in a Indians uniform again.
For some reason I thought this was his last season. Thanks for the insight.I mean, he's still under contract next year as well.
Not sure what sitting out this year would accomplish besides creating a sour relationship. So, no, I don't think there should be any concern about him sitting if they end up playing.
Most of the discussion surrounding re-negotiation of the terms & conditions of return to play involve including the 2021 season.. The salary of all but the most elite players (and even they are at risk) are clearly in question.. The contrarian in me says that even though Frankie Lindor was adamant about not extending.. he may take a number from a previously offered discussion and run off into the sunset wearing his new Chief Wahoo tat that he bought with his new pile of wampum !!..How will loss of revenue affect free agents and the contracts offered next offseason? Are we going to see a lot of guys not come close to the money they think they should get?
The TV is the TV deal.. The amount paid was already set for the season (spelled out in the multi-year TV contract).. The question becomes the advertising..................
The thing is, I'm not sure that the league or individual teams actually benefits financially from more Covid-related viewership. The media outlets that purchased those rights do. There's also the issue of clawbacks by the media outlets for games that were not played. But I agree that some kind of guaranteed minimum plus additional contingent payments may be the best way to go.

so what the hell is MLB asking for in return? This makes it sound like the owners just completely caved
My understanding of that tweet is that the season will be even shorter than the previously proposed 82 game season. Fewer games mean fewer operations costs.so what the hell is MLB asking for in return? This makes it sound like the owners just completely caved
