good, MLB players are labor aristocrats bargaining with ownership to divide the proceeds of the labor of the telecom workers making the television deals possible that serve as the source of MLB revenues, unless you're going to claim that baseball player productivity quadrupled since 2000

So they should unionize and go after their own employer for their share of the bag

I'd say their productivity might have indeed quadrupled, if we define productivity as attracting an audience and advertisers.

They're employees. That's all that matters to me. Good on them for using their collective power for getting more of the fruits of their labor back from the capitalist scumbag owners than most employees do. Your take is kinda reactionary IMO. So what if they make good money? That's irrelevant.
