These idiots expect full salaries for half a season played in empty stadiums. Meanwhile, over 30 million Americans have lost their jobs.
Fuck 'em, cancel the season and don't pay them a dime.
Maybe we'll get another blind eye to juicing like we got after '94 and someone can chase McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds' single season HR marks?

Lenny Dykstra’s libel suit vs. Ron Darling tossed because he’s already ‘so tarnished’
Lenny Dykstra’s defamation and libel lawsuit against his former Mets teammate Ron Darling was dismissed by a judge Friday.
The former Mets outfielder filed a lawsuit about a year ago against Darling following the release of the pitcher’s autobiography, “108 Stitches: Loose Threads, Ripping Yarns, and the Darndest Characters from My Time in the Game.” In the book, Darling claims Dykstra shouted racial taunts at Red Sox pitcher Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd from the on-deck circle before Game 3 of the 1986 World Series.
New York Supreme Court Judge Robert D. Kalish ruled that Dykstra’s “reputation for unsportsmanlike conduct and bigotry is already so tarnished that it cannot be further injured.”
Darling argued in court docs that “Dykstra has also been repeatedly referred to in public as a violent person and a sexual predator. … Dykstra has been publicly referred to for years as a homophobe, misogynist, and racist whose bigotry is undeniable.”

Kurkjian 'believes more than ever' MLB season will be canceled
As leagues such as the NHL and NBA finalize plans for a return to play this summer after their seasons were disrupted by the COVID-19 crisis in March, Major League Baseball remains entrenched in a struggle between the owners and the players union over what the 2020 season will look like if it can be saved, at all. With the owners and players not seeing eye-to-eye on how many games are needed to justify having a season -- ESPN reports that players have wanted at more than 100 while owners are seeking a season in perhaps the ballpark of 50 games -- concerns have increased over the possibility of the season being axed as the stalemate progresses into June.
In the opinion of one longtime MLB reporter, it may very well already be too late. ESPN's Tim Kurkjian, during a recent appearance on ESPN's Baseball Tonight Podcast with Buster Olney, said that the latest on negotiations makes him "believe more than ever" that MLB games will not be played in 2020.
"I was actually mildly optimistic earlier this week when I recognized that Major League Baseball is determined to play a season of some kind and that Rob Manfred, one way or another, would figure out a way for this to happen, because he understands the dangers and the damage when you don't play a season or miss a significant portion," Kurkjian said. "I actually thought things were going to move in the right direction, they were going to talk the players into playing fewer games, get the full prorated, play a full postseason, and be done before a next virus comes. I was actually mildly optimistic five days ago, and now that has all changed for me.
"When you see what the union wrote yesterday -- and I've seen so many times over the years when something comes out and writes something like that ... It makes me believe more than ever -- and I'm not sure -- that we aren't going to play this year, and I hope I'm wrong."
ESPN reported earlier in the week that MLB had rejected the players' offer for a 114-game regular season with no additional salary cuts. Owners had previously proposed an 82 game regular season and prorated salaries and pay cuts. MLB also told the union it did not plan to make a counterproposal, according to the report.
"MLB told the union it had no interest in extending the season into November, when it fears a second wave of COVID-19 could disrupt the postseason and jeopardize $787 million in broadcast revenue," the report from ESPN stated.

The season is going to get cancelled, they just haven't come to that final conclusion yet, probably for PR reasons.
