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. |
I believe even with a threat of taking picks away the big payroll teams would still spend. The only way is for a hard cap to be implemented but unfortanetely I don't see that happening anytime soon. As they just extended the CBA a little while ago if I remember correctly.
As for the Yank's they have a rich owner for sure but they make a pile of money as well. Their TV revenue is massive...
