Les joueurs ne sont pas d’accord… évidemment.
The union disputes MLB's characterization, saying major concessions have already been made on its side:
No Super 2 Class expansion
No reduction of revenue sharing
No elimination of non-monetary CBT penalties.
Accepted uniform patches, decals, a pitch clock, and expanded playoffs— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) March 6, 2022

Les vétérans écopent
Si les clubs dépensent moins, les vétérans en fin de carrière seront moins sollicités en 2022.
There is an expectation among agents that following the owners' lockout, there will be teams that downsize their budgets (like the Marlins) to account for the losses — and it'll be the veteran FAs, the rank-and-file players, who absorb most of the impact of that.
