Well thought out and superbly written. I'm not sure I agree with the whole plan. I think the top teams will be penalized too much on the field while they are already subsidizing the weaker clubs through revenue sharing off the field. Each team must share 31% of its generated revenue. In 2005, the Yankees GAVE AWAY $76 million to the league, while Florida, Tampa, Toronto and Kansas City each RECEIVED $30 million. No real parity was created, aside from the Rays World Series appearance. Not every weak sister can use the excuse of inability to pay the players to justify bad performance. Some just have bad owners and bad baseball people running them. They don't deserve any more of an advantage. Thanks for inciting good conversation! REAL good stuff!
