That is unreal...

MLB really needs to get a hard cap. Team's like Pittsburgh have no chance at all. Rich owner's don't mind the Tax becuase they are rich. Instead of paying a luxury tax if a team goes over a cap he should have draft picks taken away. The more you go over the more you loose. Teams like the Yanks should have their 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th round draft picks taken away from them. It is the only way for teams like Pittsburgh to compete. Either that or make the luxury tax at like 500 % to actuall sway owners from overspending.
