-How would an owner convince a fan that their side is fair?
-How much power does Scott Boras have in these negotiations?
-Could players start their own league as leverage?
-Could National League DH lead to return of Rizzo or Scwarber to Cubs?
-Is the automated strike zone a made up problem?
-Manager contracts
-How much animosity is there between big market and small market owners?
-Why didn't they get a new CBA done during 2020 shutdown?
