The owners and players already agreed to one pay cut for the players
Now the owners are asking for a second.
As Max Scherzer pointed out, everyone knows what each player makes, but the owners profits are not, likewise, public knowledge. The owners are asking the players to take the second pay decrease on the owners word that that they will lose money.
The owners asked the highest paid players to subsidize both the lower paid players and the much richer owners. But, there's no evidence that the richest owners are going to subsidize the poorer owners.
If the owners would be more open, which they won't, we might see the players more willing to cooperate - for the SECOND time - with them
