Professional baseball has always been this way. I watched a documentary on the sport and in the early 1900’s team owners would pay for the best players to have winning seasons. It’s true that the Dodgers have one of the highest payrolls in the game but there are a lot of teams who spend similar money.
@Randi And this season as well. 🤦During the 40th anniversary of their historic run that culminated in improbably (to say the least) beating my fave team in the 1986 World Series.
As I saw you mention baseball definitely needs a salary cap. I’m a Brewers fan so you can probably guess why I would want that playing in a small market and even though they’re having another fantastic regular season and with a ton of top prospects in the minors it’s just not right that the Dodgers, Mets, Yankees etc can go buy whoever the hell they want of the top annual free agents.. as much as I don’t want a lockout next season it might be the only way to get things correct.
MLB has always been this way. Long before you were born. It's just a different degree in dollars because smarter owners and a strong players union realized there was a lot more money sitting around.
@Bri89 Then why bother having a league when some teams pay more for the luxury tax then others pay for their whole roster. Just have 4 or 6 teams ...the regular season is meaningless. Other sports have salary caps & it brings equity & interest to those sports. The NFL is a prime example
