I don't think Major League Baseball will have a salary cap anytime soon, and I don't think it will suffer consequently. Personally, I wish there was a salary cap in baseball. Despite some low market teams doing well, it still doesn't justify the fact this fact: a team like the Yankees can literally spend hundreds of millions of dollars on players (Giambi, Vasquez) that don't really help them win, but still be among the best teams in baseball. No bullshit reasoning (success of low market teams, abiding by the rules of MLB, or reinvesting into your team) changes my mind. I am not singling out the Yankees either; I am a big Braves fan. I admit that there is no way they could have achieved the same success they have for more than a decade without having a higher payroll the most teams.
