Arte Moreno’s ‘Winning Not Top Five’ Claim Sparks MLBPA Reaction

MLBPA director Meyer said Angels players “took notice” after Moreno claimed fans’ top priorities are “affordability… safety… a good experience,” adding, “Believe it or not, winning is not in their top five.” Meyer replied, “players are competitors… and want to see owners doing the same.” The Athletic noted payroll dropped from about $206M in 2025 to roughly $155M for 2026.
