Rant: Major League Baseball Not Having Salary Caps
I think it is about time for MLB to institute salary caps. This has nothing to do with lowering the price of tickets, whether the bulk of revenue goes to players or owners, or any of that. Salary caps would even out the teams, increase competition among teams, and be better for fans.
Let's face it, if you're a baseball fan, there's one reason to watch a team like the Chicago Cubs: to watch them get their asses kicked. Conversely the incentive of watching a team like the White Sox, Red Sox, or Yankees is to watch the talent of a good god-damn team! Why? Because those three teams pay a shitload of money for good players.
NFL has salary caps and because of this there is a more even competition among teams. It is time the MLB does the same.
