No wonder there’s a salary cap. MLB needs to follow.

Ummmm…….you might want to reword that title.

The Blues might be ‘way down” the list of all the teams, 25th overall to be exact, but the actual value of the team is way up. Stillman and his group paid 4180 million for the franchise in 2012. I’d say a 9X return over that period is Pretty good, eh?

Point was that without the salary cap the Blues would have no chance. Just like the situation in MLB

NHL owners show their financials and split revenue evenly with players. Owners also share revenue more evenly across all teams and do not hide revenue by claiming money made through ownership of the company broadcasting local tv and radio games does not count towards “revenue”, like MLB owners do. A salary cap can work under such an arrangement.

Until MLB owners open their books completely and fix their con game that they call revenue sharing, there can be no MLB salary cap. The only thing a salary cap would accomplish in MLB’s current business environment is the owners making more money while the players made less.

Ok, I definitely agree with you on that point. Sounds like MLB is probably headed in that direction. I barely pay attention to baseball at this point, but read yesterday that a bunch of owners are pissssed about the Kyle Tucker deal and that might have been the last straw for many.

Yes. Tucker was very likely the card that toppled the house. The next lockout is going to be ugly.

I do too.

These players need to come back to reality.

I figure when guys can’t pay fancy school tuition, pay for multiple homes, cars, etc. things might start to change a little bit. Especially if spoiled mamas who like nice things start to whine loudly.
