No doubt. Its not like the Jays were paupers, they are the 5th highest payroll team. Owners need to quit being cheap fucks, there should be zero excuses to not have a 150 million payroll (at least) given the giant media rights deals each team recieves before selling one ticket.
Just the ways the Dodgers have manipulated the deferred salary loopholes is a fucking joke in the end and needs to be reigned in somewhat, thats what you incorporate guardrails for, probably need to reaccess how they caculate your taxable salary for lux tax, will it deter? Probably not that much. Will it make the 'pauper's more money? Yes.
Dodgers spent what? 500 million on player salaries this year are are still in the black by at least 200 million.
They need a salary floor far more than a salary cap tbh.
