Alex Rodriguez Calls for MLB Players to Accept Salary-Cap System Amid Mets Bid

Alex Rodriguez is still working on becoming an MLB owner, but his thought process on revenue sharing has him squarely opposite his former colleagues.

During a Thursday conference call with reporters, Rodriguez advocated for a salary cap in baseball, a notion long seen as the ultimate non-starter for the players' union.

"The only way it's going to happen is if they get to the table and say the No. 1 goal, let's get from $10 to $15 billion and then we'll split the economics evenly," Rodriguez said while discussing how to raise MLB's international popularity.
