Baseball War Brewing

There's lots of free agents this off-season.

Nobody's signing them.

Agents are upset. The union is upset. Free agents are upset. Players with long-term deals are upset.

GMs, owners, and the commissioner say its not collusion.

But there is talk of players having an illegal walkout/boycott in spring training to protest.

With costs skyrocketing and revenues and ratings down and less money coming from cable TV rights in the future, maybe, just maybe teams are finally getting smart.

OR

Maybe the Yankees and Dodgers HAVE everyone they want and no one else can afford those who are left.

You know where I stand. MOST free agent spending is a waste of money. I'd prefer to look for good deals on young players than $200 million contracts on old guys. It seems like modern day GMs now know that, too.

Go baseball!
