Seems like a specific percentage of revenue should be palatable to the PA. The main problem with that is clubs not having open books. Who determines what is revenue? What percent of revenue is supposedly going to the players now? If it is 47% now and MLB offers 50%, that sounds fair. Sticking point is determination of revenue and who checks the books. A long lockout will really hurt baseball in a major way. Soccer will push baseball aside possibly just as football and basketball passed baseball in the past.

Both make sense but Ryan will earn less in the next two years than Lopez will next year. Ryan is probably the better pitcher, although it is too close.

The Mets and Tigers make the most sense.
