As a result of the coronavirus pandemic’s 60-game short season, Major League Baseball and the Players’ Association have agreed to prorate wages in 2020.
It’s common to hear the likes of Royce Clayton and others state, “It’s just a little portion of the company’s overall earnings. That is a lot of money and a lot of riches to distribute when they’re selling organizations for more than $300 million each.
Nothing about this makes me greedy. No more than what’s in the kitty is on the table for us. Now that the money is in the pot, we may divide it whichever the players deem it to be worth.
” Those who own teams, on the other side, such as Arizona Diamondbacks owner Jerry Colangelo, may be heard saying “The problem is that we’re in difficulty because of the rising wages and the lack of revenues that even come close to covering those costs.
No one could argue that it’s a good indication. There must be a fundamental shift in the economy. That is crystal clear.”
The estimated salary for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2022 is $85 million.
An 11-year, $185 million deal agreement with Tampa Bay has been inked, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Franco comfortably surpassed the six-year, $100 million pact signed by Rays’ third baseman Evan Longoria in 2012.
