BB needs a salary cap but should also maintain a minimum team salary. There are too many teams that are coasting with no effort to put winning team on the field. If the owner is unable to maintain a minimum salary they have to sell the team.
The owners will never agree on any policy that may force one of them to do something he doesn't want

I catch the occassional game here and there in the regular season and try to go to a few live games. Chicago, Milwaukee, Cinci, and St Louis are all easy drives from Indianapolis.
The sport desperately needs a salary cap like other pro sports. SHoei Ohtanie gets $700 million from the Dodgers? Pittsburgh could never afford that. Big market teams really squash out the small market teams. You gotta root for those small market teams whenever they make the playoffs
I fully agree, PJ. The NFL has the only real salary controls, allowing teams like the Packers to compete.

Yep, the cap and the floor need to be very close. I believe that there is a 5% difference in the NFL cap and floor.

The biggest obstacle to a cap system is the players union. I believe that most the owners want it.

They was good.
The Yankees win, ttthhhhheeee Yankees win! Now on to Toronto.
The Yankees success will determined by Judge who has trouble in the playoffs
More likely scenario is Phils or Brewers.

That's most people's take. Judge definitely needs to break his playoff funk. He's getting hits, but Yanks will need his long ball.
I was surprised to see that the Cubs are -182 vs the Brewers for game one in Milwaukee. Cubs pitcher TBD.
I'm sure this a mistake at Fanduel...other sites have the Brewers as the heavy favorite, which makes more sense.
