Part 7/9:
One of the more concerning themes discussed by Passan was the fear of a work stoppage due to revenue disparities across the league. He remarked that while there are calls for a salary cap, the likelihood of implementing one seems low. Instead, Passan suggested the need for better incentives for lower-revenue teams and a more balanced negotiation among owners and players.
This conversation reflected broader concerns within Major League Baseball about maintaining fair competition. The idea of disparity in revenue arising from regional television contracts was underscored, and the effect of these disparities on smaller market teams became a central point of discussion.
