The-Kids Flashbacks...... this is how to save Baseball in the upcoming CBA...... NVM what the other fags and "experts" in the industry think, are saying or anything else.....
This and what IMO is morr necessary than a Salary Cap....... TV Revenue money has to be shared when you have a team like the Dodgers making 300+ million dollars in TV Revenue money alone to cover they payroll and then some...... The Padres make 20+ million dollars a season..... Maybe it can't be shared equally 100% but it needs to be shared and NFL does this too. A Salary Cap is not needed with these guidelines and further more TV Revenue sharing.
What if there was a Variable Luxury Tax.
So if youre a team like the Dodgers, Yankees etc etc you get taxed even higher than usual after passing the threshold and the threshold is also lowered from the 244 million now to a lower number for example 220 million or 10%. You keep doing it and spending above the Luxury Tax you get an incremental 3-5%+ lowering of the threshold even further and another 3-5%+ increase in the luxury tax.
This way there is no hard Salary Cap but a more proactive Luxury Tax and kind of makes both sides happy.
Anything before the new CBA is grandfathered in until the contracts expire and anything after applies.
You raise the floor too...... Place more value on bonus contracts vs just spending money upfront. Bonus contracts get a slightly lower tax or whatever makes sense...... You also raise the floor....
This just makes a lot more sense than a Salary Cap.
