June 6, 201313 yr Type slower next time? That's a good one.... I understand how the CBA works in regards to luxury tax, but to think that the Yankees aren't hindered by A-Rods contract is silly. I'm simply pointing out the larger picture in that teams are not spending like they did 5 years ago. Sorry, since you included this in your original post: I believe that salaries will balance out and that in the next CBA there may be some kind of salary threshold implemented. It made it sound like you thought there might be something in there but you weren't sure. If you'd have demonstrated any actual understanding of it I wouldn't have posted. Also, in your original post you made no mention of by "balancing out" that you meant teams weren't going to spend on 1-2 high priced players--you didn't mention that until after my post. Without that in there most reasonable person would think that balancing out meant that team payrolls would become more equal.
June 6, 201313 yr To answer the question though and that is they will eventually balance out but the wrong way. I think you'll see the bottom payrolls get higher before the top ones get lower.

Sue me..:lol2:

June 6, 201313 yr All I can think of while reading this thread is that Dan Uggla's contract sucks :lol2:. As does BJ Uptons. When's Uggla's contract expire?
June 7, 201313 yr It's unreal that the top team has a 25 million difference in salary. Some bad contracts on that list.
June 7, 201313 yr Pretty much the same with the Reds but those prospects he traded away haven't really panned out yet. Same for when he was at St. Louis as well. The one that was traded that turned out solid was Dan Haren
