Yes, the owners suck, but multi-millionaires whining about not getting paid enough is far more of a turnoff.

I haven't followed this, but wouldn't it make sense to make the salary cap materially above the highest payroll currently and just know going forward you can't get above that? They'll eventually all catch up to that threshold, some sooner than others, but it might be several years before even teams like the Dodgers do.

It kicks the can, but everyone knows it's coming and can plan ahead.

Yes, they are extremely well-compensated labor.

What makes them so special?

MLB basically just trying to copy NBA model but apparently that just isnt fair to the MLBPA


If that is true, the NBA follows a 90/10 model with a soft cap (luxury tax). Meaning teams have to spend at least 90% of the cap each season. If the big complaint by players are owners not spending, not sure how this wouldn't benefit them.

If you force "small market" teams to spend 90% of the cap, more players are making more money overall (in theory).

Just let us watch the games. They have made watching your team or really any baseball damn near impossible to find. I’d start with getting rid of blackouts.
