Over time we hear a lot of Baltimore Orioles fans talking about how major league baseball needs a salary cap. And quite frankly, I’m somewhat sympathetic to that stance. Neither baseball or any other sport should be a situation whereby only the rich can survive. Obviously some teams are in a better position than others, however in general the gap shouldn’t be as wide as it is.
However there are always two sides to every story. Is it possible that baseball has an upside in terms of not having a salary cap? First off think of what a salary cap means; your team has to be under a certain salary price point each year.
