The players rejected expanded playoffs and an extra 57 mil because they were worried the owners would have get almost triple that amount from TV revenues. Somewhere a wise man is thinking, you mean the owners would have more money to pay free agents next year? The players were just lead by a bunch of old stubborn pricks who already had their big free agent contracts. Bauer, Stro, Odorizzi, Paxton, betts and all the rest of the pending free agents must be a little bit pissed at this decision. Min salary guys could have potentially more than doubled their earnings if they made the playoffs. I'm sure they aren't happy either.
