The big difference is that MLB doesn't have a hard cap. If a team wants to go over the threshold, it can pay luxury tax and spend as much as it likes.

I don't see how the Oilers could give Draisaitl a $10 million raise in 2025 without gutting their team. They're going to lose some key parts this summer as it is.
