[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1541100, member: 29101"] Your point is well taken. I really have never favored either side (owners or the players) in their negotiations but I can see the owners position in not having a season if they aren't certain to at least break even, hard to see with no gate receipts. Clearly the owners are constructing a new way of doing business, with some of the lower free-agent contracts we've seen over the past several years and the massive minor-league restructuring that is planned, along with the up to 1,000 minor leaguers that will be released. I don't think this is good for the league to miss a season since it is already flagging in popularity, and to follow this up with a work stoppage would really hurt imo. [/QUOTE]
