Exactly....and why many teams have no interest in a cap as they want to spend to their advantage.I mean- in large part that is it--- their are certain owners that would fight it but obviously the majority would be in favor of it.
Also- just how the MLB operates makes it difficult as well considering how much local TV factors into each individual teams profits - which is totally different than the NFL, and still significantly different than the NBA. NBA and NFL have much more national TV deals and more equal split of revenue- though their are still higher revenue teams in the NBA and NFL but def. not nearly as stark a difference as in MLB.
for instance- there is a big difference in revenue between the Lakers and Hornets--- without a doubt- but there is a much bigger difference between the Pirates and Dodgers.
For instance- I think I saw the last Dodgers TV deal they signed in 2013 is for 25 years- and averages about 335 million per year (obviously more in the later years- less in the earlier years- I am sure its weighted)---- while the Guardians annual TV revenue right now is 55 million.
Hell, as for our team, we could make it work fine if we would just get an owner with a will to win who would spend league average. You think if Gilbert owned this team things would not be different?
