Salary Cap in MLB
Hey, if any of you have watched the world series lately you know what im talking about. If you havent been folowing the world series then ill explain. The boston Red Sox are playing the Colorado Rockies, the colorado rockies up to this point have won 21 out of 22 of there last games but in the world series have lost three in a row.
Now when you look at the salary cap of each team there is a HUGE difference! the Red Sox have a payroll of about just over $125 million with there highest payed player recieving $17 million a year.
When you look at the Colorado Rockies salary fo players it totals at about $62 million with their highest paid player recieveing about $16 million of it. the Red Sox have more than double the amount of money to pay players than the Rockies do! Is it just me or is that a little unfair?!
Here is how bad the problem is getting in Major Leage Baseball the Yankees have the highest payroll in baseball with almost $200million to spend on players! The Florida Marlins have just over $15 million! The yankees have more than ten times the amount then the Marlins do! Now if that doesnt sound unfair to you i dont know what does. post here if you want to comment on this.
Thanks!
