It's no skin off my back but when that's your starting position in a negotiation, it doesn't sound very reasonable.

The economic situation of its employer? You mean billionaires. Or his direct employer one of the few clubs that laid off most of their staff instead of keeping them on payroll. I really don’t get why people are mad.
If he is paid his salary he would be obligated to pitch for his employer. He has stated he still would not be happy or feel safe but would do it because that is what he agreed upon. One guy isn’t stopping the MLB from returning to play there are other pitchers to replace his spot.
