There was some discussion here a couple days ago about possible changes to MLB’s economic system. With the Pirates producing about as much news as the St. Louis Browns, I thought I’d set out my own idea. Not that any fundamental changes are going to happen. MLB’s system is set up to favor the big markets and both the owners, including small market owners, and the union like it that way. The owners like it because they believe the sport as a whole generates more money when the Red Sox, Yankees and Dodgers make deep post-season runs every year and that all teams benefit financially that way.
