Only four of those teams had losing records- I hope when we get our team in place, we can crack the top 15 in spenders.
The top four MLB teams were also in the top nine of spenders. This year more than any, the disparity between the haves and the have nots is even more pronounced. The Luxary Tax mainly affects the Yanks. Owners believe a salary cap may not be the total answer and may produce another Labor Union Strike, but more steps are needed if there is to be more parity.
There is talk of slotting for international signings and more compensation for free agent signings. The brewers got very little for losing CC.
This was an article in Sunday's paper, if anyone has it- Please post- pretty good read.
