Miami has had a baseball franchise for 30 years and it has never gotten the support you would expect for such a large market.

Neither has Tampa.

Obviously people are making money, otherwise owners of the Marlins and Rays would have threatened to move out of State by now. It is a business, after all.

You put a salary cap in this game, it won't make these teams spend more. They'll just pocket more money.

And sure, every once in a while some above average star will find themselves on one of these teams and it'll make them marginally more competitive. But the result will be a restriction in player earnings.

It's very simple.

Owners will never agree to a salary floor because nobody will accept being told they have to spend money. And players will never agree to a salary cap because it kills what their true market value is.

edit: What's this about challenging calls? Pete just challenged a call third strike and won :ohhh:

Pete went from being called out on strikes to drawing a walk :ohhh:
