The 2023 State of Labor in Baseball (feat. Michael Baumann)

Alex and Bobby are back with their fourth annual State of Labor in Baseball and are joined, as always, by FanGraphs staff writer Michael Baumann for a discussion on minor league unionization, payroll disparity, The Atlanta Model, and what the recent spate of mega deals says about the league’s economic health, plus why Baumann doesn’t fear Trea Turner, the scam that is grass, labor being entitled to some of what it creates, and much more.
