Both sides have proposed a draft lottery system to improve competitive balance by removing some of the advantage gained by tanking.

Likewise, MLB shot down the union’s attempt to reduce the service time required to reach free agency because, they claim, players would be more likely to jump ship to bigger market clubs, again jeopardizing competitive balance. MLB rejected the union’s proposal to scale back revenue sharing because the owners worried doing so would harm competitive balance (miles may vary on this claim). In nearly all the dialogue between owners and union, we’ve heard the issue of competitive balance thrown around. Thus we have the preferred method of roster construction for too many teams around the league: tanking. Fielding a non-competitive team not only keeps costs low, but lands teams high draft picks that enable further reliance on cost-controlled players. Because there has never been a salary floor, teams are free to depress payrolls as low as they see fit. One of the core dilemmas facing MLB in recent years has been competitive balance, or rather, lack thereof. A gain, for example, such as a mandatory spending minimum that prevents teams like the Pirates and Guardians from running out payrolls barely surpassing the $60 million mark. Therefore, agreeing to a hard cap is among the most valuable bargaining chips the union can offer in exchange for gains in other areas of the CBA. More and more, owners are prioritizing profits above all else, usually achieved by cutting costs. Of course, a hard cap cannot exist without a salary floor, and that is at the heart of the proposal I’d like to discuss today.

So if they are going to continue regarding the luxury tax as a soft cap, why not go the full nine yards and institute a hard cap? The problem is, that hasn’t stopped the majority of owners from treating the Competitive Balance Tax (CBT) system as a de facto salary cap. MLB is the only one of the four major sports leagues without a de jure salary cap. Now before you run and grab your torches and pitchforks.
