\n Alex Rodriguez, one of the bidders attempting to purchase the Mets, is already sounding like an owner.<\/p>\n

In regards to declining relations between the MLB and the players association, Rodriguez argued that players no longer have the same leverage they enjoyed when the two sides locked horns during a seven-and-a-half-month strike in 1994-95. Specifically, the former three-time American League MVP believes players should be open to adopting a salary cap system.<\/p>\n

The players association was able to previously fend off a salary cap system during the strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way it\u2019s going to happ<\/a>en is if they get to the table and say the No. 1 goal, let\u2019s get from $10 to $15 billion and then we\u2019ll split the economics evenly,\u201d Rodriguez told reporters Thursday. \u201cBut that\u2019s the type of conversation instead of fighting and fighting against each other because there is too much competition out there right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201ccompetition\u201d Rodriguez is referencing is coming from other sports leagues and rising media<\/a> powerhouses. Rodriguez believes baseball has lost its grip on consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen [during the strike] we had a stranglehold on professional sports. Baseball was 1,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cToday the NBA has become an international conglomerate, NFL\u2019s a juggernaut. Back then there was no Netflix, there was no Snapchat, there was no Disney , ESPN and everything they\u2019re doing to attract their attention. So today we have to really work collaboratively, with the players and the owners, to say \u2018how do we compete together to become No. 1?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez made roughly $448 million throughout his career, enjoying the fruits of a salary cap-less system. His comments have irked current players hoping for the same system.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlex benefited as much as anybody from the battles this union fought against owners\u2019 repeated attempts to get a salary cap,\u201d union head Tony Clark said in a statement. \u201cNow that he is attempting to become an owner himself his perspective appears to be different. And that perspective does not reflect the best interests of the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez, currently an analyst for ESPN\u2019s Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, is preparing for his third season with the network. He will not broadcast Mets game<\/a>s while bidding for the team, however.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
