Baseball could be fixed with a salary cap. If owners are willing to endure an extended lock out, like possibly an entire season, it will happen. It needs to happen. The Dodgers outspending the other 29 teams in the off-season combined is not a successful model for long term success for the sport. The NBA is growing because parity and a salary structure that is punishing for exceeding limits. NFL same thing. MLB and specifically the MN Twins situation, is beyond pathetic.

This is interesting to me.
Because in principle I agree

But functionally MLB has more parity than the NFL
But that has more to do with the importance of the QB position than the financial structure
 

Idk...on the bright side we didn't trade Joe Ryan but my gosh...we did just dump 10 players. Other than dumping salary we go sooo little in return. We got a career minor league 26 year old pitcher, with a career minor league era over 6 runs for Correa. The other guys in other trades are similar pedigree...the 12th best prospect within somebody's organization was a common description.
People calling Duran the best closer in baseball, under contract at an affordable number for a couple more seasons to the budget conscious Twins....but we get the 5th best prospect from the Phillies....a 170 pound 5'8 catcher. What the heck were we doing other than unloading as much salary as possible?

A prospective new owner...there can't be one...if there is, he is a timid soul or dumb.

Yeah, it's definitely interesting. I sense a lock out at the end of this CBA, which I think is after next season??? I'll have to look it up, but it feels like it's on the horizon.
