idk how the mlb cba works but the nhl one works like tori is saying. The NHL teams are individual organizations that collectively bargain with the players association. They agree on standards for contracting between teams and players and then the teams negotiate contracts with their players on an individual basis. theres no contracting between a player and the NHL organization. only between teams and players under the rules set in the CBA.

baseball is only worth watching if you are in person and with friends and drinking comically overpriced beer.

even then, it's only worth it a couple times a year

baseball is also worth watching if you're hanging out on the back porch barbecuing and drinking beer

Y'all are trying to watch it like you watch football. Baseball is a more subtle, nuanced, grown-up sport.

i've never watched baseball but from what i gather it's cricket for people with short attention spans and an unhealthy love of spreadsheets
