No, MLB players were happy to have no pegging of salaries to revenue. To suggest the existing structure has always been to the benefit of the owners s incorrect IMO.
This is an unprecedented situation requiring compromise by all parties.

That's bananas.
The players get paid to play baseball. How is their job different now? it's not, the difference is how much owners can profit off their business. This is not the players problem.
I mean if this is such a bad deal for owners they just hand their franchises over. They might take a loss this year, their franchises are still worth billions, it happens.
