[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 843876, member: 7261"] Before I post anything, I will profess to not knowing a lot about the MLB pay structure. All I know is that while MLB does not have a set salary cap, the luxury tax charges teams with high payrolls a considerable amount of money, giving teams ample reason to want to keep their payrolls below that level. But if you look at the disparity between the teams with the highest payrolls and those with the lowest, the "tax" doesn't create the more equal playing field that the NFL sees with their Cap.
