Tell me what this does in negotiations.

Well, first of all, the one thing you have to add to this is that it does add a layer where they want a salary cap in place, and so this has a lot of implications on baseball.

I mean, it's almost a 5% fewer games.

It's less revenue.

Uh, it's, you know, less attendance.

It's almost three and a half million people less will attend games.

That's about 177 million in gross revenue, and it'll affect the regional TV deal.

But how will guys around him kind of, uh, view how he's being treated differently compared to some other stars on that team?
