It’s been a while since I’ve been truly happy about baseball. Like many other Red Sox fans, the Mookie Betts trade broke me up. It was a landmark move that signaled a change in how the franchise was operating, going from an organization that leveraged their large revenue sources to treating the CBT number as a de facto salary cap. It took me a while to accept the new direction the league is gone. I still think it’s stupid, inefficient, and destructive but Major League Baseball is essentially a salary capped league. Deals like last week’s Adam Ottavino trade don’t happen in uncapped leagues.
