Would the end of guaranteed contracts in baseball help with salary cap disparities?
Do you think "big market" team payrolls would drop over time if players weren't asking for 7 year $140 million dollar contracts? Would top player be looking for shorter contracts if they weren't guaranteed or would it be the same?
I honestly think a team payroll minimum would help or a MLB version of the NFL "Final Four Plan" that limlits free agent signings to the previous years playoff teams could "bridge the gap" to put more teams in realistic contention.
Your thoughts?

im in favor of the current system. if the owners are willing to pay, thats fine, if their not, they can utilize their farm system to win games

I don't think that some of these players are requesting that high of a salary but owners throwing that amount to get them to sign the players for their team. I do think that there needs to be a salary floor in which owners must spend x amount of dollars on their team so they could claim that they need the money from the other teams who spend 10 times the amount. They also need to have some kind of salary cap because if one player gets a certain deal, then that would leave the door right open for other players to request absurd amount of money that they don't derserve.
