I was just reading an article about Bregman being disappointed in his salary and I was surprised on the GM response:
GM Jeff Luhnow defended the decision, saying “That’s just the nature of our industry right now.” Which is not a defense of the nature of the industry right now, of course. It’s merely an acknowledgment that, when a player has zero leverage, he’s going to be paid far, far less than his production is worth and that teams will, quite happily, take advantage of that fact.
Seems kind of blunt/matter-of-fact. You’d think he’d just kind of skirt around it by saying precedent or something
