January 23, 20251 yr Does the grievance from the MLBPA even have teeth? They never settled the prior grievance in 2018. Also, Marlins can just claim they’re using that money for infrastructure and would have to be proven wrong. They’re not taking on shitty contracts for prospects, theyre not doing shit
