The diamond is in rough shape. I really have trouble buying into the mindset that teams that spend millions and millions of dollars are suddenly poor because of some arbitrary ceiling that’s imposed as a de facto salary cap. It’s BS, plain and simple. No explanation will make it okay. It’s collusion, in the classic sense of the word.
Granted that you can’t buy championships — the New York Steinbrenners proved that. But you can remain competitive as a result of star-studded rosters. Take a page from the memo book of the Los Angeles bat-Dodgers.
