| 14th January, 2009 - 11:46 pm | SI.com - After the New York Yankees spent nearly a half-billion dollars on free agents during a recession, some owners have begun pushing for an MLB salary cap.
"I would ask, if it's such a bad idea, what sport doesn't have a salary cap other than us?" Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said Wednesday.
A salary cap isn't on the agenda of the major league owners meetings this week. But it could become an issue when the present collective bargaining agreement expires after the 2011 season, especially if the economy worsens.
"I think there's a lot of owners that would like to have that right now," Oakland owner Lew Wolff said. "I think the parity is what we're looking for, and the more ways you can get to parity the better. I think it's pretty good now, but I think it could be better.
"It's a very good question, because maybe this recession, depression, whatever we're in may be a change for a lot more years," Wolff said. [READ] |
