Interesting views. We have had LOTS of discussion about this locally, because it is assumed that if the players strike, there will be no new stadium and therefore no more TWINS!
Our player rep, Denny Hocking, says none of the Twins want it, but they are a small voice among the whole. The issue seems to be not salary, but luxury taxes. The players feel that luxury taxes imposed on the "rich" owners (insert Stienbreener here) will cause negotiated salaries to go down. I certainly don't think ANY sports figure is worth the 100's of millions some owners are willing to play. I would be happy to be a minor league fan, if we had a team to get behind. If they do strike, it will be a "sad day in Mudville", just like mighty Casey striking out!
