Why would they want to get back on the field if baseball just sees them as warm bodies? Good for them and standing up for themselves. They are MUCH better than the talent that is out there right now. They know that. And it seems like Minor League Baseball told them "we don't care." and they told Minor League Baseball, "then we don't want to work for you."

And if they do lose their jobs, so what? They lost $12,000/year and being away from home for half the year with pretty much zero shot of making major league baseball.

I care about these guys...but it seems like nobody else does. If I were them...i'd be doing the same thing. The contract is obviously unfair. They get paid far less then junior college umpires. That's a joke.
