And more MLBPA members are position players, many of whom are threatened with getting squeezed out of roster spots by one-inning middle relief types. If I'm an OF who can't play center or an infielder who can't play short, I'm going into Clark's office and telling him to get that limit in ASAP. Right now there is very little space on rosters for backups who can't play multiple positions (unless they can really mash) and guys are faced with losing years off their careers once they're not quite starter-level anymore.
If they think unused backups are going to be paid, they’re idiots. This seems like a great way to split a union prior to a strike, I’m wondering if that was the mlb’s goal all along
