Many people already pointed out in this thread that it does nothing to stop dynasties and greatness by bringing up examples from the NFL and NBA. The dynasties are still there, its just fair dynasties where the well run organizations are rewarded for doing it with the same resources as the other guy.

It bails out poorly run organizations, it doesn't ensure that owners are trying their best to field competitive teams, players still want to play in big markets anyway....

I mean shall I continue?
It seems that the poorly run organizations are being bailed out the most in baseball as it stands now. The owners are still getting rich, the players are still rich...but the teams still suck. In the NBA, the Sonics were very poorly run after the Payton and Kemp era ended. Look what happened to them, they're in OKC now. How is that a reward?
