Seems to me to be extremely biased towards teams like the Yankees who spend their way into success. I'm pretty sure you'd create a situation like college football where you have the same small handful of teams who are always in the championship, which is pretty boring. (The focus on the Astros is interesting, especially given it would have stacked the odds against them in that infamous 2017 season)
- mabbo 5y agoIf this much change is going on, you might as well introduce salary caps too, which helps deal with teams like the Yankees who can just buy their way to victory. It's equally unlikely to ever happen.
- isabelk 5y agoFor what it’s worth, the Yankees could buy their way to victory but they haven’t in the past decade.
- bdcravens 5y agoThey have tried. This proposal seems to be a way to "right that wrong", especially considering the Astros were the primary disruptor the past few years. (Disclosure: I'm in Houston, so my opinion is biased)
