Is the objection that only top spending teams make the World Series? If so that belief is factually incorrect. Of the 40 participants in the 20 WS from 2003 to 2023 (excluding 2020), half were in the top 10 of opening day team payroll, one-quarter were in the 11-15 positions, and the.remaining one-quarter were in the bottom half.

Because I'm tired of LA and NY buying all the best players. I don't care about the statistics or probabilities of championships or World Series appearances. I care about the probabilities of the best players going to these markets. In the NFL, I sometimes get to see great players play in Green Bay. In MLB, I never get to see the great players play in Milwaukee. Hank Aaron doesn't count. That BS was a lifetime ago. I will die on this hill now. Fight me. Give me a hard cap.
