In a sense I agree. I mean, if teams that are at the bottom of the barrel, and don't improve over time, despite getting added funding as a result of this, why should these teams continue to suck revenue?

I'm of the mindset that there should be a hard salary cap (ala NFL) or no cap at all. I don't think the big spenders should give $50-60 million to the scrub teams that seem to make no real effort at improving. Examples include: Devil Rays, Royals, Reds, and Rockies. These teams should be contracted, not encouraged by payouts of "free money" that is granted at the expense of teams that are successful and able to spend more as a result of their success.
