📬 New Rockies Mailbag: • MLB lockout negotiations • What the DH could mean for Colorado • Would Monfort ever sell the team? • And more... via psaundersdp
“The Rockies are now top priority for each of these three businessmen , and it is the ballclub, not the companies that made them wealthy, that they plan to pass on.
So, while some things have changed — Charlie Monfort is no longer as involved with the club as he once was — I believe the vision of passing the Rockies on to the next generation of Monforts remains. Greetings Patrick! I am a member of a union that has been in negotiations with management for some time. It amuses me that the rank and file state that baseball players make enough money and should just sign and play. These are the same union members who always vote no in negotiations. Are there somewhat simple reasons why the MLBPA opposes the owners’ latest proposal?The bottom line: the lockout is about dividing up the money and it’s about power — now and in the future.
“MLB’s offer also includes a near doubling of the tax rates charged to teams that eclipse those thresholds, which union representatives have maintained must change before a deal can get done. The union’s most recent stated goal for the CBT threshold is $245 million, and MLBPA representatives have altered that proposal in recent weeks.”
I think it could work in the Rockies’ favor if they pitch a solid deal to a valuable free agent such as Kyle Schwarber or Kris Bryant. The players and their agents might not have as much time to shop and compare, as long as the Rockies’ offer is strong enough.
