Is baseball's financial landscape sustainable? Tom Ricketts lamenting the Cubs inability to compete with the Mets, Yankees, and Dodgers' spending raises serious questions. Are we heading towards a financial arms race that prices out smaller market teams? Or are the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees simply reaping the rewards of savvy business decisions? What does this mean for competitive balance and the future of the sport? Is breaking even a viable long-term strategy, or does it condemn teams to perpetual mediocrity? Weigh in with your thoughts. I predict this disparity in spending will lead to a push for a salary cap within the next five years. Discuss.
