Discuss away ... just don't assume some sort of inherent "right" to spend other people's money. They largely do this to make money, same as the rest of us who work at anything.

There isn't a single player being held hostage in the U.S. that I'm aware. If they don't like the offer, they're able-bodied, they're welcome find something else that better suits their talents and desires. Only through determined efforts have other similar groups so thoroughly earned my disdain as well as the MLBPA. "Fuck them" would be a kind expression of my sentiments.

Let's just be honest though: If MLB in its current state never returned, I'd be okay with that. I'd be sad it came to that on some level but it would have limited impact on my life at this point aside from video game content.
