Yeah, I realize.
Only querying the “nearly all” claims. I look at our list and I’d guess that about 1/2 weren’t either on those longer term deals, or don’t have the leverage to demand the 2-3% increase aligned to TPP. They just accept the deal offered. I’d have thought that a couple of veterans wouldn’t be getting it either given Sidey renegotiated recently to spread his payments over additional years. Wasn’t the only one either if I remember correctly.
In the scheme of things, a player on (say) $400k, you’re only talking $8-12k to cover the 2-3% TPP has generally risen by. But the club would be reticent to just give every player that, especially with so many younger players on the list who’ll all need to be re-contracted on likely more.
It’s not about capturing the “intra” CBA rises, they are known. It’s when the contract period crosses over into the next CBA.
