Robin Lundberg reacts to the bizarre story and details why this is just another example of why most fans couldn't care less about financial disputes between MLB and the Players Association.

00:00In a time where it's hard to reach a consensus on anything, one thing everyone seems to agree
00:04upon is that they don't want to hear about MLB players and teams fighting over money.
00:09A good example why could be Prince Fielder's contract, as Prince might be MLB's highest
00:14paid player this season despite not playing in a game since 2016.
00:17And it's not like he's hurt, he's retired.
00:20According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Fielder is set to make $24 million if the
00:25March agreement between the players and owners holds, and given possibly prorated salaries
00:30for other stars based on games played, that gives him a chance to lead the league.
00:34Now, I'm not hating on what he negotiated, and obviously the details of that deal came
00:38way before the current circumstances, but if things stay the same, Prince is certainly
00:43set to be living like a king.
