Anyone can sign anyone, but they're forced to move on after a few years to somewhere else for more money. Spreads the talents around, and it puts a premium on building a good team and spending the right money at the right time.

Two things have to happen for that to work:
1) The salary cap has to account for all players in a team's organization, not just the 40-man roster.
2) The 6 years of indentured servitude each player owes a team at the beginning of his major league career needs to be done away with -- all players are free agents at the end of their contracts, whether they're 38 or 18.
