It would not be hard to prove in court that MLB is nothing more than a General Motors with each team a subsidiary, much like Chevy, Cadillac and so on. In doing so they would prove that each team needs the same amount of financing and salary caps. HOWEVER, the biggest problem with that is the owners would have to give up their Anti-Trust immunity. It would be a double edged sword for them.
Somewhere in the near future the owners and union have to do what's best for the game or it will die. Total revenue sharing and salary caps are the only way to preserve the game. The Yankees will still get the cream of the crop because of the tradition of being a Yankee.
