Let's call this for what it is- it is only about money for the owners and for the players. Period. Everything else from rule changes to roster size are all secondary by far to issues regarding money. And once again the only big losers are the fans. But it is not just the fact that we cannot see our teams continue to add and trade players; it goes much further.
The stupid lockout means that the MLB network cannot show any photographs or video of current players, except for games that have already aired because with the lockout nobody has the rights anymore. I have to admit that since the Mets have not been in contention much in recent years I truly look forward to the MLB network show Hot Stove beginning every November so that I can stay up-to-date every morning about what's happening throughout the sport, transaction-wise especially.
The lockout means there will be little to no new content on the MLB network until the lockout is resolved.
They will probably have special reports when a team like the Mets or the Athletics announces their new manager, or executives change teams.
But otherwise it will be repeats and replays until the lockout is resolved.
Just what Baseball needs, pissing off their existing fans even more, and preventing new fans from coming on board!!! Great job, guys...great job...
