MLB in one of its propaganda videos is referencing a CBS Sports roundtable in which every one of us said, no, MLB does not need a salary cap. I guess that's why they screen-capped the headline instead of, you know, quoting from the actual piece.

MLB is screencapping headlines referencing a salary cap in baseball, presumably to imply widespread support for it.

you know what's frustrating? This push from some people to tell as many people as will listen that baseball is getting shut down before next season. First off, that's a LONG way from coming even close to fruition. Secondly, how about a little optimism?

Again, Jed Hoyer took over atop baseball operations in the winter of 2020. Nearing six years later, this is his team in the only large market in the NL Central. Was his extension really necessary?
