I am just saying that. Say the the payroll was a strict 200 mil a year for an example. and you had a floor at 100 say for an example. It would help the competitive balance. The Dodgers are at somewhere of what 280 or 260 mil? So they couldn't afford to take on shit trades to get the one good player of Gonzales in that deal. But also you would see many more good players be spread around more teams. You wouldn't see the Dodgers or the Giants be spending 500 million dollars in one off season that would be spread through out other teams making those deals and would help competitively through out the league. Similar to you see football has good players spread out, where as baseball its really only a handful of teams having these high priced players and the low market teams don't usually. There are some exceptions. I would just like to see it so it wasn't a who bought the best team it was who put the best team together in other areas. Just my opinion.
The Rockies and Padres for example when you have teams like the Dodgers and to a lesser extent the Giants spending a ton of money that the Padres and Rockies can't spend financially. How bad was Baltimore and the other teams in the East when the Sox and Yankees were spending crazy amounts. You can say well look at Baltimore now, but at how long can they keep that team together before things get too high priced for that they can't afford it. Again just me spewing stuff that I think thats wrong with baseball, and wish were different.
