To be fair, not many sports the world over have salary caps like NFL or NBA do, Baseball is doing no different to any other sport. In every sport there will always be bigger teams who offer bigger money. It doesn't make it uncompetitive.

Whatever makes you guys feel better, stay in denial that it's not an unfair advantage.  But the statistics don't lie.  Just look at the playoff teams of the last 15 years

Yeah, statistics don't lie, dumbass. Spend some money. http://www.stevetheump.com/Payrolls.htm

You spend $5,805,771 less than the Rays who spend the second least in the league. But regardless, they've managed to win the division in 2008 & 2010 over the Yankees & Redsox, the two top spending teams in baseball & made it to a WS. Stop bitching & make moves.

The Rays?  Again, that's an anomaly that goes against the general rule.  That's like saying white rappers are just as successful as black rappers, because look at Eminem.  You fail when it comes to logic.

Nigga, please. Don't talk about logic. The last 30 NBA champions have come from big market cities & you're in here crying over having a cap. The last small market team to win that is like the 1979 Supersonics lmao. Celtics. Lakers. Bulls. I just named more than half of the last 30 NBA titles. That's an embarrassment.

The Rays are the model. Don't be stupid, keep the young talent & stop being a AAA team for the rest of the MLB. In today's economy, there is no reason a team shouldn't be spending AT LEAST 60-65 million & the Royals spend 30 million dollars less & then you have the nerve to complain about salary caps.

Baseball doesn't need a salary cap.  It already has the most parity out of the four major sports in NA.
And f there was a cap in place the Yanks, Sox, etc. would just pump that extra money into scouting and other aspects of the organization and still be great teams.
