The evidence speaks for itself.

You want some evidence?Hows this...In the last 13years youve had count them SEVEN baseball teams not make a playoff appearance,four more teams with one appearance and 5 more with 2 appearances.That adds up 16 teams making a grand total of 6 appearances between them over a cours of 13 years.THATS HALF THE LEAGUE.Again,how is it compettive when half the league are feeder teams for the big market teams?Thats why a salary cap is needed.you dont get anything to balance it out.The draft has always been the great balancer in sports but not in baseball and you know why?Because a team like the yankees can just steal another teams talent by paying them two to three times more then they can get at a lesser known team.Its a joke,it makes it boring to watch.Calling it the most competitive is the most laughable thing Ive ever heard.Nfl and Nhl are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more competitive.

Jaydc:
the fact that in the mlb theres seven teams that ahvent made it to the playoffs in almost 15 years and three teams that havent made it to the playoffs in over 20 years shows that the league is extremely flawed and a salary cap is needed.

Javier:
this is from another thread, a post by Knuckles

A Salary Cap won't do shit, the most important thing in baseball is front office management.   The recent Dodger success doesn't have shit to do with buying players, all of their best players have come through drafting and signing them for not so expensive contracts.  The problem is that sometimes these cheap teams also have the dumbest management.  Just take a look at the Royals, they waste money on Guillen and Meche lmao for fuck's sake they deserve to be horrible for that type of bullshit. 

Javier:
There are plenty of teams out there that know what to do with a smaller budget and there are plenty of teams that have no idea what the fuck they're doing with a large budget. 

Jaydc:
So no comment on why half the league is basically feeder teams?Your just breaking down finals and completey ignoring the playoffs.How is a league where half the teams are irrelvant and feeder teams competitive?
