Per ESPN\u2019s David Purdum and Jeff Passan, the Major League Baseball<\/a> Players Association is proposing a few sports betting-related measures in the ongoing collective bargaining negotiations with the MLB.<\/p>\n

First, the union wants to ban player props to reduce harassment from butt-hurt gamblers<\/a>. Second, the MLBPA is asking the league for clarity on obtaining endorsement and sponsorship deals with legal sportsbooks and prediction markets. Third, the players are pushing the MLB to adjust how sports betting investigations and punishments are dealt with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ORIOLES PITCHER CADE POVICH CALLS OUT ONLINE HARASSMENT AFTER WIFE THREATENED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

I have pushback for the first two proposals, with the last being a nonstarter, and that\u2019s coming from someone who almost always sides with the players.\u00a0In fact, I’d understand if the MLBPA went on strike over the owners’ salary cap proposal. As my colleague, Ian Miller, wrote earlier this month<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Anyway, the player props thing is pretty straightforward; players are sick of getting sh– from the fans for losing their bets.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are several instances of bettors harassing players lately. Last year, I wrote about Houston Astros pitcher<\/a> Lance McCullers Jr., his wife and their two daughters receiving death threats after Lance\u2019s bad outing.<\/p>\n

There is just no defending that behavior, and the harasser\/scumbag should walk the plank<\/i>, so to speak. Period. End of discussion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, there is a credible argument for reducing the surface area of fixing these player props by removing them altogether. Cleveland Guardians pitchers<\/a> Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz are on unpaid leave while awaiting trial for allegedly rigging pitches.<\/p>\n

However, seeing if sportsbooks and prediction markets can use their name, image, likeness, and jersey number, aka “asking for clarity,” while urging them to worsen their product by banning player props is shrewd negotiating on the union\u2019s part.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I agree that the players should get a cut of the money the MLB gets from partnering with sportsbooks and prediction markets. Like, obviously. Yet, being endorsed by those companies while pushing for fewer betting markets just feels wrong. Doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

CONGRESS INVESTIGATES BETTING SCANDALS ROCKING NBA AND MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL FOLLOWING FEDERAL CHARGES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m being insensitive and cruel, but part of playing professional sports is dealing with fans booing. Whether it\u2019s related to playing against their favorite teams or going Under their scoring prop.<\/p>\n

Now, if that fan crosses the line with death threats and extreme profanity, by all means, kick them out of the ballpark. “Back in my day,” that didn\u2019t happen often, but it seems like players get fans red-carded all the time nowadays. So, it can be done.\u00a0Especially in the NBA.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m taking a hardline stance against the MLBPA\u2019s third proposal. According to ESPN<\/a>, “the union asked that players punished for sports betting violations be allowed to go on a 15-day unpaid rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues near the end of their suspension.”<\/p>\n

That said, any player who bets on<\/a> or against the team they play for should be permanently banned by that league. No “suspension”; excommunicated. Nothing tarnishes a league\u2019s integrity more than a player or coach of that league gambling on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the union’s demands cross into hypocrisy. Asking for sportsbook revenue while simultaneously watering down the product and coddling rule-breakers with minor-league rehab is a terrible look. Protecting players from extreme abuse is vital, but compromising baseball’s integrity is a swing and a massive miss.<\/p>\n
