Hey, you're still outspending the PiratesSo Yanks guarantee Cole $324M over next 9 years and Mariners currently have a total team guarantee amount for next 9 years of $83.3M. LOL!!!
I am very happy he’s not an Angel
Yeah was sweating that one for awhile now...
Man, as good as Cole was in Houston I just really wonder how his personality will deal with playing in New York.
I wouldn't mind that either.I would like the Mariners to buy low on Archer but that would make too much sense so they wont do it
agree to a point. The gap between haves and have nots just widens a bit more. Especially in the AL. Thats why I dont see why the M's should rush their rebuild like they are reportedly doingToo bad MLB doesn't have a salary cap. Min/max would be nice.
5 of the top 10 in team salary made the playoffs.
I agree with that too.I'm not sure a cap is the answer but further revenue sharing would be good, the Dodgers and Yankees make 3-5 times more just in their television contracts than everyone else. Small market teams are punished for being small market. In 2018 the Yankees had a revenue of $712M that's more than the A's, Rays, Royals, Reds & Orioles combined. That's an unfair advantage.
I agree with that too.
Something needs to change the gap in team salaries. $158 million difference is nuts.
I'd suggest something like:
Min - $80 million
Max - $150 million
The big market teams would still have their advantage and still spend more. Then once that is underway, they could see more clearly how to adjust the revenue sharing.
