RE: Time for Baseball to Make a Radical Change: Blow Up the Ninth Inning and Let the Stars Shine

in #sports7 years ago

One of the things that I think could help baseball be more competitive would be to have a hard salary cap again. Yes, they have some form of luxury tax, but if they had a hard cap like the NFL, one team wouldn't be able to stack the deck by having a disproportionate number of star players. Then any team would be more likely to have a shot at winning or reaching the playoffs. Having superteams like the Red Sox and Yankees is bad for the sport in the long-run. If the same teams win over and over, they get the international fans, but you don't have the local support for the other teams. People are not as interested because "the Yankees are going to win again, so who cares!"

Just my thoughts. :)
