You're going to come back and offer, and then we're going to wind up meeting somewhere in the middle.
But it's all the stuff that happens publicly, I think, that informs their positions on that.
What I mean by that is...
You guys are in Chicago, so it's a big market.
In Los Angeles, the Dodgers fans are in New York, Yankees and Mets fans.
Big markets, they have it pretty good.
They have a lot of money.
Even if the Cubs aren't spending what you think they should, it's better than most.
But it's the people in Pittsburgh and people in Cleveland and people in Kansas City where I live and people, you know, in those smaller markets that look at the state of Major League Baseball right now and ask themselves, can can our guys compete?
Like, even if they are extraordinarily good at what they do, like the Milwaukee Brewers front offices.
Can they compete in a sport where the Los Angeles Dodgers right now have a $500 million payroll and the Brewers are having $120, $125 million?
Like, is it fair?
Is it right to have one team that has four times as big a salary as others?
Or does the sport need a salary cap?
Now...
I'll sit here and tell you, the players will not accept a salary cap.
So if there's any flaw like the premise that my story has here, it's that we're starting from a point where this is not going to happen.
So anything Major League Baseball does to try and cajole the players into taking it is going to be met with anger.
And yet Major League Baseball, if the Dodgers go and win again this year, they have a credibility problem with...
with a large swath of their fan base that wonders, is this sport fair?
