Everyone at the same salary probably wouldn’t work, but a cap at $150 million and a floor at $80 million would do a lot to spread out the talent and really examine the ability of the various front offices to put together the best team they could with similar resources. It would also prevent one team (let’s use a fictional name, like, say, the Schmankees) from signing the top three free agents in any given year (like they did last year) and essentially buy a championship that does not reflect they quality of their talent evaluators.

Hey, it’s not going to happen and I know that’s true. But periodically someone needs to write articles like this to point out to MLB that the folks in the midwest know they’re getting screwed.

sweet!
