Could There Be No Baseball Games Next Year? These Owners Are Betting On It.

As a Red Sox fan, I always wondered what a salary cap would do to competition in the division. The Yankees, until the last couple years when baseball got relevant in LA again, have always been the team it would affect the most. If they do it, I would like to see a system of relegation. Marlins came in last again not even trying? Okay. Now you are a minor league team and we will bring up a team in Portland give that a try.

You understand that it’s literally A SHOW?…ENTERTAINMENT…you act like it has to be fair and transparent…grow up.

Thank god the Olympics and World Cup are still pristine.

Excellent video, agreed with pretty much every point made here. But another direction you could take this in is to consider bringing pro/rel to MLB. The infrastructure's there, the minor league system could be converted to a pyramid like in European soccer. Now that's a REAL way to punish bad ownership for their incompetence.
But y'all aint ready for that conversation yet…

MLB should adopt a system like the Premier League of promotion and relegation. This way they at least fighting from being the worse teams.

We need a Salary floor in baseball, not a Salary Cap

Kind of a bone-headed take. Baseball NEEDS a salary cap. Things have gotten out of hand, and the competitive balance is just not there. And the MLB player rep that tried to sell us a bill of goods regarding the NFL…. there is a LOT more diversity of teams making the playoffs in the NFL than in MLB. And while you still have dynasties in the NFL, they do not get threepeats! The MLB owners stink. Yes, they need to be put in their place. But it hurts everyone more when there is no salary cap in place. Without the Cap, the fans can both not afford to attend a game AND also see their team continue to have losing seasons (from an app, of course) because they can't afford to outbid the Dodgers or the Yankees for any true talent.

And, as a lifelong baseball fan, I am at the point where I think it would do the game good to miss a season. Yes, the 1994 Strike hurt the game for several years. But what history (and the media) are trying to make us forget is that in order to try to win fans back, owners lowered prices by a LOT. They also had cheaper concessions, better promotions, etc. Baseball became fun again. And for a few years, at least, it felt like everyone had their priorities back in place. The players, the owners, the true die hard fans that started to return first…..

Then we got the steroid era, and "chicks dig the long ball", and the owners (and the players) saw the dollar signs in it again, and everyone lost sight of the fact that they are getting to play a kids game as a job.

TIPPING PITCHES, BAYBEE!

Bobby stop trying to hide how yoked you are. Big Pic weirdos know what your macros are.

This was one of your better videos. More like this one please.

The needle is getting oh so close to pooping the bubble in all of sports, not just baseball. The average fan is realizing that they don’t factor into the equation anymore. Meanwhile, billionaires are paying so much now to own a professional sport that it’s doomed to crash.

With the collapse of the regional sports networks, all of the major league sports paying top dollar for. talent will have to sort out their payroll budgets… MLB is the only major league sport that doesn't have some sort of a salary cap… Revenue sharing has been a total colossal clusterfuck, too many teams are happy not spending lavishly while reaping the revenues… Presently I only watch and attend MINOR LEAGUE games, the major league teams have priced me out of their fanbase… I can watch a minor league game play in a smaller stadium with a closer seat to the field for much less than a major league nose bleed seat very far from the field… And at the minor league level one year you win the pennant, the next year you are in the cellar… Nor do the players earn multiple millions to play a game…

Great video. This is why i stopped watching the NFL. All 32 NFL teams have a valuation worth over $5 billion dollars each while collecting an average of over $450 million of revenue per team in 2025. The worst NFL franchises have very little incentive to compete when loyal fans keep filling the stadiums while they rake in millions.

Why should Jerry Jones care if the Cowboys, who's valued at over $13 billion dollars, miss the NFC Championships when being mediocre for 30 years has been great for business? It's all bread and circuses.

"Revenue sharing" and CBT sounds very Europe, but us europe football fans hearing that terms, we laughed 😂😂😂😂😂

Like, why we should sharing our hard earned money to other people

And if you guys arent aware, the Dodgers have been cheating with their local TV deals. Creating a loop hole to under report what they make so they can keep more and hire more expensive players, while hurting smaller teams revenue.

Pro sports are all rigged to ensure maximum gambling profits. All of them should be sued for gambling fraud. It's not even real competition. It's sports theater, no different from pro wrestling except the pro wrestling fans know that it's scripted for entertainment, not a real fight. Pro sports fanboys are clueless and blind.
