What are the Astros doing?
Once again, we’re hearing reports of MLB generating record amounts of revenue in the past season. Remember these days as the owners continue to send smoke signals that a lockout is going to happen.
I’m wondering what the owners are going to stand their ground on when negotiations show up. They have to know that a salary cap is a nonstarter, but will they dig in on revenue sharing? An international draft? Stiffer luxury tax penalties? It will be interesting to see which owner talks first about the negotiations.
