Instead of investing in their farm system, they over pay mediocre free agent talent and artificially increase salary demand. They get what they deserve.

I can't see why that fact would impact my enjoyment of a sport in any way.

when their payroll is 28x the amount of my favorite team, a team that has never won the World Series, and certainly never won 28 Championships.....then the unfair playing field impacts my enjoyment slightly




I know

MLB needs to put in a min payroll. It's almost criminal how low the Astros was this year.

I agree. I dont know what is worse for MLB, no salary cap or no salary minimum.

I believe Cano's 10 year contract could sign the entire Pittsburgh Pirates for 2 seasons.
