Baseball needs a salary cap. Sure, you can point to exceptions like Tampa Bay breaking through, but by and large, the playoff spots are being dominated by big market teams. The last two years we saw teams from NY, LA, CHI, BOS and PHI grab most of the playoff spots.
It's become like EPL soccer. A handful of contenders, and a bunch of development teams.
The Jays have no chance in the current climate.
