June 29, 2020 PHOENIX -- D-backs right-hander Mike Leake has elected not to play in the upcoming 60-game season. Arizona acquired Leake before the trade deadline last season.

It’s completely wrong and a lie to post MLB player salaries as if they are going to get all of the money, period. Where is your source on “one degree” of separation? He wishes the best of luck and health for his Diamondbacks teammates this season and he’s looking forward to 2021.”. Leake was listed on the Diamondbacks’ 60-player pool released earlier Monday, but will be moved in a later transaction. It could be he’d rather receive that inflated salary in full next year, or a third of it this year. @SteveGilbertMLB first said Leake was opting out.

It makes perfect financial sense if your job is tied into your arm and if you hurt your arm in some asterisk fake third-of-a-season season causing you to miss a full 2021 real-deal season. Leake, who is a free agent heading into 2021, was the first known major league player to opt out of the season.

The league’s revenues have been slashed by the pandemic. Teams aren’t going to being handing out contracts like they have been next season with so much uncertainty around. You really do think a player who signs a contract for $15M a year gets all $15M, huh?

I’m listening to epidemiologists, who have more expertise than you, but nice straw man you built there *eyeroll*. You want to live in fear? It’s leake’s last serious payday and he gave it up. OF course you don’t. Again, all of those stats you’re listing he did at age 32 and younger. Why do you claim to be sure about who I am, how long I spent composing my post and what I think? I do agree that Bill Gates is not an expert in epidemiology.

Absolute buffoon.. No facts necessary if Strike Four has an agenda at hand. What are you just making up things I said? After thorough consideration, he has chosen to opt out of playing in 2020.
A mother and father who are sending their kids to school this fall have much harder choices than almost any major league player. Washington Nationals infielder Ryan Zimmerman and right-handed pitcher Joe Ross also have made the decision to not play in MLB’s 60-game season. He gets paid whether he plays or not, right?

But I am glad I am able to keep your life meaningful. MLB and the MLBPA have agreed on a "spring" training that starts July 1 and a regular season that begins July 23.
