This is ridiculous now.

Their asking price over the offseason is what’s ridiculous.
Baseball players ahve to realize at some point there is no "official" cap but there is a point where salaries can't keep going up unless revenues do. TV money is maxed, I don't see it going much higher. Attendance won't increase and I think what most teams can charge is about topped out.
It feels like every player is expecting to hit FA and make 300M, when that just isn't going to happen. There will be a dozen or so players that can command the top dollar, the rest need a dose of reality. What they should be focused on is in the next CBA trying to get to FA sooner. It's absurd that a player can be late 20's before he even has a chance to hit the open market.
"Nobody loves this game as much as I do. To have it taken away from me was heartbreaking."
What theyll say after reducing their contract demands
