there needs to be a tipping point in mlb where some type of cap is imposed. i realize the yankees and dodgers have bought players for decades, but at this point
it's reached ridiculous levels with only the phillies, yankees, dodgers, mets and maybe a smattering of other teams able to compete for top talent.

To be fair, Howie has exploited the interest free cap borrowing that is permitted by the NFL CBA to basically circumvent the NFL salary cap.

And I'm grateful that Howie has done so, and that Lurie is willing to spend the real dollars to support it.

false equivalence. there is no comparison of the amount of money compared to other teams spent by the eagles and the amounts
of money spent by the teams i mentioned compared with pittsburgh, tampa, miami, minnesota, white sox, kc. colorado, seattle et al.

If not hard or relatively hard cap in MLB, then tier it like soccer by spending.  Having leagues with all of this inter-league playing is not as relevant but if you still want NL/AL:

Tier 1 - Top 10 spending 5 AL 5 NL - top 2 makes the playoffs
Tier 2 - 2nd 10 spending 5 AL 5 NL - top 2 makes the playoffs
Tier 3 - 3rd 10 spending 5 AL 5 NL - top 2 makes the playoffs

Have inter-tier games enough to keep it at current 46 interleague games

If this would happen, I'd add 2 expansion teams making it 4 tiers of 8 teams.  Teams will go up/down tiers depending on average spend past 3 years.

LOL but why not

Something does need to be done with baseball

Vegas team won’t have a chance but I don’t care

I just view it like I’m going to a show a few times a year and hang out. But you would have to be lunatic to buy season tix or get too emotionally invested

It really makes a mockery of this sport’s lack of cap/floor.   There are some small market teams who choose to make a profit  instead of spending on payroll.   Because of no floor they are a little bit of the problem.



On the other side of the coin--

Crazy spending by the Yankees and Mets have led to   a combined 2 worlds serie since 2009 with zero wins. It hasn't been working very well for them.

The Dodgers were a juggernaut in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023, and got beat. Very little is guaranteed for them.  There hasn't been a repeat winner of the WS in 25 years.

Bigel, the issue isn’t really that it’s a guarantee for top payroll teams, it’s that it’s a near lock that the bottom half teams have no chance

In past 30 only two teams in bottom half have won the World Series, 2002 angels and 2003 marlins.

Teams like the Pirates can get a guy like Skenes, but only for awhile
