Does anyone think the Yankees are the best run team in baseball for the last 34 years? They have 0 losing seasons in that time frame. You can't buy a championship, but you can buy sustained success, which should not be the case.

MLB as currently constructed, everyone can win. But it is like a game of basketball, where one team is trying to score on a 10 foot hoop, and another team is trying to score on a 7 foot hoop. Can the team that has it harder still win? Yes. But they need to be much better.

Something people need to understand about the whole cap discussion: we don't care about the owners, at all. That isn't in the calculation as a fan. It is purely does this seem good to make the game more equitable for everyone.

There are many ways to define parity. Baseball's randomness makes playoff baseball have good parity. However, when you have the Yankees with 0 losing seasons since '92, and the Dodgers with only 3 (and 2 of those were under McCourt, who bankrupted the team) thats not parity.

If there is a cap/floor/expanded rev sharing system put in place, it would benefit 80%+ of the players. 60% of the league makes near league minimum. The median salary in 2025 was 1.35 mil. This is being framed as owners vs players, but it more accurately is owners vs agents.
