Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
Add that and it's more than what the Yanks spent.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
So? That's not salary, it was a number of things including an investment into the Japanese market. The Yankees apparently had $32 million or something kicking around that they bid too. Even if I were to grant you the one-time $50, it's still one year out of many in recent memory. Their salary advantage for quite a while now has been immense.Comment

Ah, so 50 million dollars don't count as "funds" because it wasn't explicitly towards salary. Got it.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
Theres the inferiority complex towards the yankees again. Focus only big brother and ignore what every other team in the league spends.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
The most relevant competition is the competition within your own division. The least relevant is the entire other league. I haven't said anything about other teams because the point is the Yankees either have an advantage or they don't. Basically, either salary matters or it doesn't. You seem to feel an extra $50 million a year isn't an advantage, which is very silly.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
This is the first time I've seen the new quote. Pretty sweet.
You seem to be ignoring the diminishing marginal returns of payroll as it gets to obscene levels.
The real difference between, say, a $50M payroll and $100M is much greater than $150M and $200M.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
There will never be a hard cap/floor though. What they need to do is revise the revenue sharing system so it doesn't reward teams that spend very little. If a team only has a $30 mil payroll they shouldn't be receiving $50 mil in revenue sharing (just a rough example).
A hard salary floor would never work. What are teams who are below it supposed to do, spend a crapload of money on bad players just so they reach the salary floor?
A soft floor could work though. They could basically implement something a lot like the luxury tax. If you are spending less than X dollars, you lose a certain percentage of the money you would have received in revenue sharing. Repeat offenders lose a higher percentage.Comment

Re: Florida Marlins trying something new...
There's obviously a much bigger difference between a $50 and $100 million payroll than a $150 and a $200 but that doesn't negate there being a significant difference between the latter two.Comment
