Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 3418917, member: 19"] The owners would definitely take a (one time) income reduction based on ticket sales/concessions/parking. But what’s the deal with the TV contracts, which I believe is where their bread is really buttered? Are they being prorated? I thought I read that the players asked this and weren’t given an answer. What about other expenses? Scouts, management, office personnel. Were they furloughed, pay cut, etc? If this is all about the tickets/concessions/parking, they should be able to survive that hit, especially if not doing it will hurt future income based on a reputation hit for the sport. Makes me wonder if the owners are unanimous. And if so, if that’s just lip service. I think MLBPA has them by the balls on this one. [/QUOTE]
