I agree re: players, but if they don’t do it, I hope the owners take the initiative to increase pay.

I never thought through why are minor leaguers so grossly underpaid. The MLBPA could include them under their umbrella but that would likely cost the rank and file members, say Scooter Gennett, some money.

It is very unlikely that minor leaguers will be represented therefore. The philosophy of ‘I went through hard times. They should feel the same pain.’ is probably prevalent among most bench players in MLB.

My hope is that someday the players will adopt this issue based on the total revenue in the game.
