Something needs to be done about how international players are signed.My question is, for those that cry about Baseball needing a cap what would you choose as a reasonable cap ?I would put the cap at around 115 million,thats more then enough for teams to work with,and make the floor 55 million.So how do you propose the 6 teams that are over 115 million be punished for it. And your salary basement only consist of 5 teams. One of which is the Marlins who despite there miniscule payroll have managed to be a competitive team the past 5 years. And one of the other teams is the Pirates who are hands down the worst ran organization in all of North American sports.They shouldnt be punished,it should be an enforced hard salary cap.Im not talking about the nbas lame excuse for a salary cap Im talking a hard cap like in the nhl were you are not allowed to be over the cap under any circumstance.So how do you propose they get there payroll down to 115 million? And my mistake it's only 4 teams under your 55 million threshold. That consist of only 4 teams. So thats 20 teams that fall between your proposed salary floor and cap. Thats pretty even to me. And if you get rid of the Yanks and Pirates throwing it a bit out of wack the differences in payroll are even less drastic then you previously thought.You cant look at the numbers now and say oh it only effects this many teams blah blah.All those players from the teams that are stacked would be disperesed between the other teams and make the league that much more comptetive.Instead of basically having half the league being comptetivie you would ahve the entire league be competitive.

Obviously spending money doesnt gaurantee anything,but it does make it more comptetitive.I put up those numbers that show over the past ten years a total of 16 teams of made a grand total of 6 playoff appearances.Thats 16 teams,half the league being made into basically feeder teams for the big market teams.And I wont like being a jays does play a bit into it,considering how many star pitchers and players have come through toronto only to leave because the blue jays cant afford to keep them.If their was a cap it would rewards teams with great farm systems more then being about who has the biggest wallet.Now obviously their is exception to the rule,but baseball is very much a mercenary sport for players,with players going to the highest bidder with zero loyalty to teams,its all about the highest dollar.Where as in sports like nfl and nhl with hard caps in place,loyalty is all over the place.Now in every sport theirs going to be people that only want to the biggest dollar,but its rampant in mlb.
You did in fact misread.Seven teams have missed the playoffs,four more teams have made one appearance and five teams have only made two.Thats 16 teams over ten years with a grand total of 6 appearances between them.Like I said,that half the league basically being feeder teams.And what I mean by loyalty is,players are loyal to their teams they dont jump ship at the first chance they get offered a big contract at another team.
Well thats another one of my problems with baseballl,I think 8 teams should make it from each league or in the very least 6 from each league.
Yes but the american league its almost a given that red sox and yankees are making it.So its basically two spots up for grabs.How is that exciting or making the longest regular season of all sports meaningful?Look at hockey,the 7th and 8th seeds in the east were in the finals for their conference.Frankly,only having four teams just makes it uninteresting.Thats why baseball has teams with the longest droughts in professional sports of not making the playoffs.how is that good for the league at all when half the cities never get to see their teams play in meaningful games?
