00:00 Hey, it's everyone's favorite topic,
00:02 Major League Baseball money negotiations.
00:05 I kid.
00:06 Fans have clearly made it known they are unhappy
00:08 with the current state of MLB,
00:10 and while Commissioner Rob Manfred said
00:11 he is no longer optimistic about the season
00:14 and passed the blame to the players,
00:15 player agent Joel Wolfe has a different take,
00:18 saying, quote, "The Marlins played without fans
00:20 "for 15 years, yet still managed to give a player
00:23 "the biggest contract in sports history,"
00:26 Giancarlo Stanton, of course,
00:27 and then sold the team for a billion dollar profit
00:30 with five competing buyers.
00:33 At this point, I don't know if it is worth putting money
00:35 on there being a season, but if there isn't one,
00:39 we do know baseball fans will be pointing
00:41 to money as the reason.
00:42 (silence)
