MLB did it to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Miliwakee, and every other small market team.


bullshite. Oakland and Minnesota have been consistently good this decade. Florida, a low revenue team won the WS in 03 (and 97), The Tampa Bay Rays were in the 2008 WS. Meanwhile the big spending Mets haven't done crap.

The Yankee dynasty of the late 90's was largely built on players they developed (Jeter, Williams, Rivera, Pettitte) even this years team has lots of home grown talent.

Teams like Dallas cant win on an even playing field and see a way to tilt it in their favor.


First of all that is completely wrong, they have won plenty, they won 3 SB in 4 years o this level playing field. 2nd have you noticed Washington has been paying for big name free agent for a while and hasn't done crap. Cap or no cap, teams that draft smart and make smart free agent moves will still win.

Just because Dallas won titles in the 90's and Washington tries to buy every big name and has no titles completely misses my point. My point is the farm systems players is the only hope the small market teams got and small market teams cant retain those guys anymore. Whats really bad is not being able to resign farm players and getting out bid on every half arse free agent. There is nothing fair about the structure of MLB right now. Do you really believe that MLB plays on a level playing field?
