    At the end of the day I think we see a salary cap. It saved the NHL, it can save Baseball.

    Baseball doesn’t need saving.

    Within the last decade, a bottom 5 revenue team won the World Series and the Yankees won zero.

    Excellent point, although I would personally prefer a salary cap as well.

    They also need to fix revenue sharing.

    Now THIS, I can get behind. For the longest time, St Louis was paying revenue sharing and Philly was receiving revenue sharing, which was just the dumbest system ever invented.

    I thought there was a salary cap but the Yankees are so rich they can pay off the fees

    Yeah looking back several years no team has won the WS with a less than league average payroll.

    Wouldn't SDS have to set up a contract with Fanatics?

    only if their current deal with Topps was expiring this offseason which I don't think is the case. Fanatics purchasing the company doesn't change the contract, it just transfers over.

    7/10 of the teams in the last 5 World Series have been top 8 in payroll on opening day. I agree with you, it's more weighted toward the elites than something resembling parity.

    It's still January and still cold in most states. Maybe everyone is just frozen in place and can't do anything atm.

    My alternate theory is that Rob Manfred can't stop smelling his own farts. So he decided to shove his head up his own [censored] and can't figure out how to undo the situation. [censored] Monfort showed up to help, but instead also lodged his head up Robs [censored]. [censored] Monfort then decided nepotism was the way.

    After the free agent frenzy early on and then silence due to the strike makes me think of that scene in Spartacus. After forcing his fight with Crixus and just getting demolished Batiatus is screaming at Spartacus " You had the crowd! "

    I, for one, was around in ‘94 the last time this happened. If you guys don’t think the owners are willing to let this carry on into the season in order to get the player’s association to agree to their terms, I urge you to remember the Montreal Expos had the best record in baseball by a mile that year and never got a chance to go to the postseason.

    In other words, I don’t think the owners care, and Mr. Manfred’s actions seem to reflect that. It’s very sad.

    Royals? Just my guess. I think baseball has it's issues but I agree, it doesn't need saving, just some attention.

    The man with half an asss speaks truth.

    Also Royals were at 122m. About league average. You have to go back to 2003 to find a team with a bottom 5 payroll and that was the Marlins.

    He was probably referencing the Rays who made the WS 2 years ago and didn’t win as a bottom 5 payroll team

    I feel like the owners are against Manfred primarily because he made all those rule changes in 2020. I'm sure there were things said between him and the owners that made negotiations to begin the season that year fall apart until July. Pitchers don't like him because of the sticky crackdown and the juiced baseballs. Atlanta, I'm sure, doesn't like him because of all the money the city lost from the All-Star game. I don't really know the minds of the owners, but I don't like Manfred at all, and I believe that the owners don't like him either.

    Revenues != Payroll
