******* ambitious negotiating agenda designed to recapture a dwindling share of league revenues, push back against the "tanking" phenomenon that's seeing teams choose to be non-competitive, and address service time manipulation by clubs. That's hardly an exhaustive list, but it hints at the broad scope of the current talks. ******

Revenue share is a good point - but team revenue for many teams can vary greatly -- 2020 showed that , the fan backlash against the political posturing , stadium factors , competitive issues , etc.... --- it can be worked with "national" revenue ( broadcast/media ) MLBPA already generates revenue outside the MLB org ..-- On the "local" level the size of market is always effecting revenue ^^ MLBPA may just want to focus on gate revenue but will they look at net revenue or gross >> who does the accounting ....

Tanking issue ( I think ) has an easy solution ---- work from the middle out ..... example : 37 teams ( easier to illustrate ) ....... Team # 19 - 20- 18- 21- 17- 22- 16 - 23 - 15 -24- 14- 25- 13 - 26- 12- 27- 11 - Then go 37 - 36 - 35 - 34- 33- 32 - 31 - 30 - 29- 28 - 10- 9 - 8- 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2- 1 .......... The top ten should be picking at the bottom ....

Service time if a team drafts a player under 20 they have that player for 5 seasons , then the player goes into a secondary draft or are minor league free agents >>> if the player is 20 or older the team has the player for 3 seasons , then the player goes into a secondary draft or are minor league free agents .......

But there are other solutions (many).
