Although Snell's comments were rather controversial, it seems that other MLB players aren't necessarily disagreeing with him.
"He's speaking the truth, bro. I ain't mad at him," Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper said on his Twitch stream, according to TMZ.
Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado added, per The Athletic, "He made a lot of good points. There are some points he made that were true, that are facts."
While MLB owners made a proposal to the players' union this week about a potential start to the season, it seems more and more like we may not see any baseball in 2020.
If the season eventually is able to begin, it's not going to be nearly the same product that we've seen in years past. At some point, you have to question whether or not the season is worth it... and that's what the players are discussing.
