How will MLB millionaires manage after meal money cuts?

While it's called a collective bargaining agreement, it often comes with its fair share of disagreements. The newest one is the daily meal money for Major League Baseball players being cut from $100.50 US to just $30 per day.

Free agent pitcher Brett Anderson certainly wasn't too happy about it.

But does this mean MLB players will be living on a diet of cheese pizza and chicken nuggets until the next CBA comes down the pipe? In the minors maybe. But not in the bigs.

"Peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches is what we lived on. In the minor leagues, you find a Waffle House and go get that," Freddie Freeman, the Atlanta Braves star first baseman, said Monday. "It's come a long way, What you do in the minor leagues makes you appreciate what you have in the big leagues, and what we have in the big leagues is so amazing."

The change is actually estimated to save players about $6,000 US annually, since the cost of food at home games will be not coming from their own money.

Players have long paid "clubhouse dues" to cover the cost of spreads, which averaged $70 per day per player this year. Many pay additional tips to clubhouse managers, money redistributed to all the clubhouse attendants.

Even if players are as bad at budgeting as Olympic organizers are, the amount of money they'd have to pay for spreads at away games are minimal.

Many people didn't even realize MLB players were receiving a per diem ...

... and with the average player salary reaching $4.4M in 2016, it's hard to feel bad for these guys.

Don't send your complaints to the MLB just yet; many other pro sports teams have been doing this for years.

According to Sean Avery's The Players' Tribune article, the NHL CBA allowed him $96 per day during training camp and away games for meals.

In the NBA, they're truly eating like kings. In 2015, the average pro basketball player earned $4.6M and received a meal allowance of $127 per day.

So if you see any paid athletes shedding crocodile tears over their cut meal allowances, just think of the last time you spent $127 a day on food as well as being paid millions. Suddenly you won't feel so bad.
