In a recent article on MLB Trade Rumors, Tim Dierkes polled readers on their support for MLB instituting a salary cap during the next CBA that will be negotiated for the 2027 season. Unsurprisingly, the respondents decisively voted for the salary cap - with a concurrent salary floor. Dierkes then asked a follow-up question: would the respondent sacrifice the entire 2027 season in exchange for said salary cap and floor? Amazingly, an extremely thin majority voted for this sacrifice. That’s worth repeating. A sizable proportion of these baseball fans are willing to give up an entire year of one of their favorite sports to institute a rule change that may or may not improve the game as a whole.
