Hour 2 Overdrive continues. Powered by FanDuel, Brian Hayes, Zodog Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan, Frankie Corrado will join us later in the hour. Get to our best bets later in the hour. Game 4, Habs Carolina tonight. Jays with a win this afternoon. So they end up winning another series against Miami. They won a series against Pittsburgh. They got a split against New York. They're starting to get it going. They're two games under .500, but like you said, with how it's kind of been feeling around the team with injuries and performances, you'd think they were 10, 12, 15 games under .500. So, you know, not perfect, but you'll take it. Get some arms back, get some injured bats back into the lineup and get cooking here.
And the Jays still have an opportunity to salvage things. Speaking of baseball, as we know, this is the last year of the current CBA. So I guess it was... reported on today that the Players Association, MLBPA, they put forth their first proposal. And now Major League Baseball has come back with a statement on that proposal. And it said, well, I'll read you a little bit. You guys are union members. You've been through work stoppages in the past. You tell me how you would interpret this. We appreciate the union making a set of proposals and we look forward to continuing the bargaining process and working towards solving the competitive balance problem our fans are telling us needs to be addressed. We understand their proposals are designed to benefit players.
Unfortunately, they do not address and in fact exacerbate the competitive balance problem our fans are telling us we must address. The PA's proposal would reduce the amount of transferred to lower revenue clubs, weaken the competitive balance tax, and lead to an even more payroll disparity than exists today. And then it continues.
They go back at him just basically saying the rich will continue.
Yeah, that reads to me like we want a salary cap and your proposal doesn't have a salary cap. So thanks for coming out, but that's not going to work.
Well... Can they afford a full work stoppage?
I don't know. You guys tell me. Could Harry and the boys back in 0405?
We recovered. Guys, this is the way I look at this. These baseball players, and I wish us hockey players thought about it this way. When you look at the NHL under these salary cap so-called restrictions, Brian, do you not think the guys in the NHL are living a pretty good life? Do you not think guys that scored 10 goals making $6 million a year live a good life? What is the sense of fighting and acting tough and acting like you're getting screwed if anything is different right now where you could find some kind of happy medium and still have a great life playing baseball? Like, I don't know. I'm not pro anybody. I don't really care. I'm a hockey guy. I like watching baseball.
What recent developments have occurred with the MLB Players Association?
We talk about baseball. But if you're going to be so stupid to say we're going to miss half a season, we're going to miss a full season, the owners don't care. Figure out something where you can have a great life and everybody's going to be happy because there is some kind of happy medium. If you want to put a stake in the ground and just say that's not happening moving forward, what's the sense of losing all that money? Hockey players lost. We all lost a billion dollars for sitting out. And then we said, yeah, let's take a salary cap. How stupid is that?
Well, I think, listen, you lived it. You guys have your lived experience.
I was part of three. I was 91. I think I told you this. In 1991, I was with the Islanders. We were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs the next day. I was supposed to get my first start. And we went on strike. The players striked in 91. 94, there was a half a season lockout. And then what was it? 05 or whatever it was. We lost the full season. I was part of three work stoppages as a player. And you never get that time back. That's the one thing. There's enough money to go around. I think there's enough smart people in these leagues to figure it out without the carnage. And ultimately, think about the fan.
