The owners have all the aces in the whole.
Just because you or others think the players make a lot of money, the owners who don't get their brains beat in make multiples more...and that's before you consider franchise value.
If the players are getting enough, the owners get more enough. Yet tickets prices, parking prices, beer prices are through the roof.
No...it's a relative situation. The players are taking all the risks...health wise especially. They also take the contract risks because there are no guaranteed contracts.
If I'm the players...I get more on first contracts, put in lucrative performance clauses on first contracts and/or shorten the exclusive negotiating rights fewer years from 4-5 years.
