"I'm not trying to make a federal case out of this. I'm just relaying some thoughts shared by some MLB Umps who aren't exactly happy about this."
If a majority of MLB umpires felt the loss of this benefit outweighed the gains of the new contract, I'm sure they would not have ratified the agreement.
I am not in any way supporting Sandy Alderson or his henchmen. I understand he has little respect for umpires. He has demonstrated that many times. He screwed a friend of mine who was an MLB umpire. And smiled while doing it.
Nonetheless, MLB umpires, as do we all, make choices. Once made, they should live with them.
