Some of the correction is owners unwilling to take on guaranteed dead money when they can't count on revenue going up and up. Theoretically, it should encourage more players to sign some 8-10 year deals while they are still a few years from free agency. Better to take 100-250 now vs hoping for 200-400 later. That might mean leaving Boras for some of these guys.
Baseball just came off back to back, record setting revenues. If they can't find a way to make this profitable, then maybe they shouldn't be in this business anymore. But nothing has really changed from last offseason regarding revenue projects, yet they were more than willing to drop stupidly large contracts on Bogaerts, Turner, Judge, Correa, Swanson, ect. Its not like Boras was the only one asking huge amounts.
This is ownership being greedy. Its pretty obvious. Same as always, they are trying to get leverage on the players.
