Part 4/9:
In the background of player movement and signings, the issue of a salary cap has resurfaced, especially following recent comments from various owners at meetings in Florida. Ken Rosenthal, a seasoned MLB insider, recently penned a column discussing the implications of the ongoing conversation regarding a salary cap and the potential chaos it might bring.
Rosenthal highlighted that while some owners might find the idea of a salary cap appealing, particularly in controlling expenditures, the broader consequences on the game could be detrimental. He cautioned that aiming to implement a cap could trigger another work stoppage, akin to the infamous strike of 1994-95 that left a lasting mark on the league and its fanbase.
