strike out

So much money out there and they still can't agree on how to distribute it.  

Not to mention the service time, international draft, how teams are purposely losing to manipulate the system and revenue sharing. 

I know the players are adamantly against a hard cap but maybe it's needed. The hard cap will only affect the top highly paid players.
Along with this they would need to make sure that all the teams have a basement threshold. Meaning each team must spend a certain amount
or have consequences. The owners of course don't want anything to do with this. They don't want to be told how much of their own money they
need to spend. Which makes sense. 

After last year when the players agreed to reduce their pay for half a season then the owners came back and wanted more of a reduction.
I think the players got a bad taste in their mouth. It's obvious there's money out there after some of the contracts given out so there isn't
a complete freeze out for free agents. 

I've always thought baseball should be incentive based and based on performance. Too many big contracts for mediocre players while the
younger players are making league minimum.
