I remember 10-15 years ago, baseball players were the highest paid athletes. But recently NFL and NBA contracts have been insane, and baseball has stayed the same. I understand where baseball players are coming from. I remember ARod’s 10 year $325M deal back in like ‘07. That was unheard of in the NBA and NFL, but now it’s way more common.

[@laguti17]

The baseball market has died and they are vastly overpaid. They just want yearly amounts like in the nba instead of ot being spread over 10 years even though it is fully guaranteed.

[@krakeronkrak4365]

@@thedarkemissary minor leaguers make 25k a season. They live off of the signing bonus from a draft which if you’re a late round 7-15 is usually less than half a million dollars. Keep in mind how hard it is to make it to the show, and that you probably won’t stay for many years and you can see why players want more and why they want to be available in free agency quicker.

What AJ said at 16:20 is so true. I legitimately had no idea this was going on. SHAHTAHT to baseball tho 🙏🏻

That's cause it happened in the middle of the off-season so technically baseball was already in a work stoppage since November.

@@DanielOrteez That's like saying a lockout happened in the middle of the NFL off season therefore work hadn't begun yet and folks would have no idea... folks would know of a NFL lockout instantly. News of that would be everywhere.

[@jc8456]

@@zType2 you're not wrong. But baseball offseason happens while most other sports are going on and entering late season and/playoffs (football, hockey, basketball) so the current news takes precedent. Also, like they said in the clip, baseball is largely covered by local broadcasts and not the major networks so they don't spend the time on it cause not to their benefit for viewership ratings

[@skatetard101]

I’m a die hard Brewers fan and it’s incredible how much success we’ve had being a small market team. That said, it gets annoying how we can keep good players or get great players because a large market team whether they’re a bad team or not can outbid us so easily. But also I think as a fan, it gets annoying seeing such huuuuuge contracts and then the player just sucks after that contract. I also think baseball needs a shorter season. It just goes on so long. Things need to be changed for this generation and future. Not everything but to keep with the times.

You gotta admit, that 2014-2015 royals were stacked. Such a fun team.

I don't. The NFL has a salary cap and there are still awful teams. The NBA has a salary cap and there are still awful teams. These awful teams aren't just in small markets either (looking at you Jets and Knicks) Salary caps don't fix bad ownership and poor scouting.

[@WheelchairWolverine]

I wish Pat and the boys would talk more about baseball. But understand it’s not their forte. So they don’t want to talk about something they’re not as familiar with. Having guys like Jett and Ian on brings so much more credibility. And I love how both of them let lose and are able to be themselves when they’re on. I can’t say this enough. But this is By FAR the best sports show out there. It’s mind blowing to see how far this show has come. The access and interviews they get, has to piss off all the “ major “ shows and networks. Their show is so big and informative. That the “ major “ shows, show clips and quotes from Pat and the boys. That’s when you KNOW you’ve made it. Every other host would give their left testicle to have the freedom they have to be themselves. They’re setting the bar and showing everyone else what the fans want. I hope this show never changes!!
