Ruining! And it's ridiculous. They're making George Steinbrenner look like a socialist. It's destroying the competitive balance of the sport. And if ninety percent of the teams already feel like they have no chance before the season even starts, then what's the point? It's going to have to be addressed for the next bargaining agreement.

No more deferred money! And for every hundred million you spend, you should lose a first round draft pick. If you give a free agent 300 hundred million, you lose your next three consecutive first round draft picks. And those draft picks should go to the team with the lowest payroll. MLB should also have their version of Bird Rights like in the NBA where the team you're already with can offer you the most money.
