Do you even wonder why the MLBPA doesn't pursue a salary cap? Because it will do nothing but give the owners an ironclad excuse to cut spending. Something every single ****ing one of them can afford to do more of.

Football isn't competitive because apparently at any given time only like 10 humans in the world can play QB well enough to win a Superbowl w/o a generational defense.
But you really have to be in denial to look at the NFL and MLB and say MLB is just as competitive. The Chiefs could never keep Mahomes if it was run like MLB. He'd be gone after his rookie deal. Or if we did shell out, we couldn't afford to pay Kelce and Hill when their contracts come up. It would be Mahomes and a bunch of scrubs.
It doesn't matter that a bunch of different teams have won the WS recently. MLB games are very high variance. The playoffs are a crapshoot. But the Dodgers, Yankees and Sox are still favorites to make the playoffs every year, while teams like the Royals have to tank for a "window".
That the Dodgers only have one WS win is well within normal variance. They could just as easily have 3 or 4 WS wins, and then finally maybe
everyone would admit Baseball's competitive balance sucks.
