That's the way they always talk about it.

We've had no salary cap.

So we are going to make sure that the future generations don't have a salary cap.

I think there is a way, and it's protecting and changing some of the rules.

There won't be a salary cap.

But they can change some of the rules to protect the 30 plus players who are seeming to be phased out of the game for the younger players.

They can make changes to make sure the younger players don't get manipulated in service time.

and screw them out of free agency or arbitration.

There are ways to do it.

It's just if you don't pay attention to what they just said yesterday on both sides, then you'll be better off because it's going to go into the offseason and maybe to Christmas.

Yeah, in 92, 93, it was the Jays with the highest payroll in all of baseball because it was really Pat Gillick and Paul Beeson who were calling the shots and ownership didn't pretend to know anything about it.

So they felt free to spend whatever they wanted, but it was at a far different level.

than it is right now.

And the individual ownership is gone.

It's all corporate.

Billionaires want to be multi-billionaires and, you know, it's really ugly.

But when you look at competitive balance, why should the workers be the ones to make sure there's competitive balance?

Shouldn't that be the owners and the employers instead of the employees?

And, you know, you look at Milwaukee, in fact, the entire National League Central, five teams are all above 500.
