What Happens if 2010 is Uncapped (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=204380)

Contrary to popular mythology, there is more, not less competitive balance in baseball than there used to be.

Owners want to abandon the salary cap because the associated salary floor is a joke.

You're wrong. The owners want to keep the cap. Very much so. The floor/salary system strains a few owners, but not many, and the owners very much like having a structured budget system.

But there are problems with what is in/out of the cap calculation, and a number of other issues separating the two sides.

If you have any support for the statement that the owners want to abandon the cap, I'd love to see it because I haven't seen anybody report that.

I'm pretty sure these guys are not dumb enough to let this happen. At least not any longer than 1 season. I actually see them working it out though.
