Small market teams still couldn't spend to it, but you have to make it fair to the big market teams as well. The cap could never be less than $100m.
That's a good question. Was talking to a co-worker about this exact thing today.

I like the per player cap idea. Say...10 million cap on a player that leaves his original team. If he comes up with the team...unlimited cap.

Then maybe the Royals can offer Greinke 14 million a year and actually keep him.

It might be at least a starting point.

It wouldn't be easy...because of the point its gotten to. Its so outlandish to have one team spending 200 million while another is less than 30 m.
