How are people being brats because they don’t feel the risk to their lives is worth the reward of their paycheque? Snell valuing his long term health over playing at a reduced salary is a choice he should be able to make. He isn’t a slave to MLB or Fans. He even said if he was paid his full salary he would feel obligated to hold up his end of the contract because that was the terms he agreed to with his bosses.
The guy doesn’t feel safe playing in this environment let him miss the season. He’s the ace on the baseball team I cheer for and it sucks he may not be back but it’s his body his choice.
