Thread: Salary Cap Now!!

Maybe you could talk to your guy about spreading the wealth for Orioles fans.

True, but nothing is gonna happen UNLESS you actually make the playoffs. The Twins made it in. The Rockies did too. The Cardinals are not a huge market team. The Rays went all the way to the World Series last year. Also, the Rangers gave Boston a nasty scare over the wild card, Seattle was a vastly improved team, the Braves and Marlins were contending for the whole year and the Giants basically choked away the NL Wild Card to the Rockies. And...

"Stop criticizing the Yankees you implied that the Yankees' money made them win game 2 of the ALDS...that is a load of garbage" NO I WON'T, I WILL NOT STOP! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME ! Not until someone gets some co- jones after Selig leaves and ends the monopoly of money they have on Major league baseball. Also sir I didn't start this thread ! If Tex would have been on another team (perhaps the Twins) he could...

I believe that there won't be a salary cap this time either, primarily because of the long standing opposition of the MLB players union ...but, I think that the effects of not having any mechanism to control competitive spending has had a very gradual effect both on the quality of competition and will ultimately diminish the overall appeal of baseball to the networks and at the turnstile. I believe unfortunately, though, it would likely...

Sometimes I think it might be nice if the whole free agency system were abolished and MLB went back to the good old days of the reserve clause, which basically provided that once a club signed a player to a contract, it reserved to itself the rights to that player's services as long as it wanted to retain them. When the term of a player's contract ended, he had to negotiate a new contract with the same club or get himself a job...

"One game is a completely random event, sure, players the Yankees signed contributed to the win, but the nice thing about baseball is that in one game, or in even one series, the team that plays the hardest and doesn't make stupid mistakes is generally the one that wins, even if there is a difference in talent level. That's how a team like the Nats win 50-60 games, if the games were played on paper they would've won...

I agree we need a salary cap.

P*ssing into the wind again?

Isn't it amazing that only the fans of teams that s*ck want a salary cap? There will never be a salary cap in Major League Baseball, thank God!

Weren't we going after Burnett and Teixeira this offseason? In my opinion we have no reason to complain. There are 3 ways to better your team. Free Agency Drafting Trades The Yankees often make their solid moves in free Agency. I don't see anything wrong with it, sure they shell out a lot of money but the truth is the players have the choice. The twins have always drafted pretty well and have been terrible with trades and free...
