MLB and NBA both have luxury taxes, which I consider a soft cap. What else would a soft cap be? The MLB's luxury tax, in particular, acts as a cap because it's rarely significantly exceeded by teams other than the Red Sox and Yankees. It does sort of given an advantage to teams that can exceed it in a round about way.
