It never fails
If MLB and MLBPA do not agree on a Salary Cap and Floor this offseason, they need to realign the Conferences and Divisions:
Here is my new NL and AL based on fairness if a cap/floor isn't put in place:
NL Central:
- Pittsburgh Pirates
- Cincinnati Reds
- Washington Nationals
- Cleveland Guardians
- Miami Marlins
NL East:
- Detroit Tigers
- Milwaukee Brewers
- New York Mets
- Philadelphia Phillies
- Atlanta Braves
NL West:
- Los Ángeles Dodgers
- San Diego Padres
- Arizona Diamondbacks
- Los Ángeles Angels
- San Francisco Giants
AL East:
- Toronto Blue Jays
- Boston Red Sox
- Chicago Cubs
- New York Yankees
- Baltimore Orioles
AL Central:
- Kansas City Royals
- St. Louis Cardinals
- Tampa Bay Rays
- Colorado Rockies
- Chicago White Sox
AL West:
- Texas Rangers
- Seattle Mariners
- Athletics
- Houston Astros
- Minnesota Twins
I’m starting to get worried here. This is borderline mental illness
We’ve spent years talking about the Dodgers payroll, but are we asking the WRONG question?
Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, Cleveland… year after year, these organizations find ways to compete without spending like the giants.
At what point do big-market teams stop obsessing over analytics and start POACHING the scouts from these organizations?
Maybe the biggest competitive advantage in baseball isn’t payroll. It’s knowing how to IDENTIFY TALENT that can compete when the lights are the brightest?..
Average Yankees season:
- is Judge washed?
- Judge is the best ever
- we are winning the ALE and WS
- Judge injured
- Lose the division
- Win WC against BOS
- Lose the ALDS
- Cashman sucks, Fire Boone
- Is it time to move on from Judge?
