I’m pro players. But baseball needs a cap with a salary floor

one guy should not be making more than like 5 teams

they also need shorter contracts. 13 year deals is crazy

No it doesn't. A cap isn't gonna force teams like the A's and Pirates to spend money.

Teams making money hand over fist.

You don’t wanna pay your team… sell your team.

It won't. You'll never be able to force these cheap owners to spend.

Sometimes it sounds like the commissioner doesn’t work for the owners, just like the players.

Shouldn’t the commissioner be talking to the union and not individual players

Get the fukk outta the clubhouse you piece of shyt !!!

Non baseball fans love talking about baseball.

Salary cap works in every other American professional league, but Baseball fans vehemently oppose the salary because of a weird desire to stick it to the (small market) owners.

Owners and players think about everyone but the common fan. Think about what’s best about the future of the game.

A salary floor or the threat of relegation might. @Cladyclad a couple months back I was listening to Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill call a game while the Yankees were in Pittsburgh and they mentioned that the last time the pirates signed a free agent player to a contract longer than 1 year was Ivan Nova in 2016. A few years ago the A’s went into the season with a lower payroll than they had in 1991. After the 2022 deadline they had 0 players under contract for 2023. I think Eric Chavez is still the largest deal they’ve given out. The marlins across 3-4 owners have done nothing but cry poverty and bilk the city of Miami out of several billion for the past 27 years. The problem is the owners not wanting to spend and there being no penalty for it. Jerry reinsdorf for another example owns 2 sports teams in Chicago. He doesn’t need a salary cap to be able to compete.
