Quin Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Combined with the new international spending penalties, this is a good thing. They just need to change how the competitive balance picks work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This and the new luxury tax penalties will basically act as a de-facto salary cap. It's about time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I suspect that certain teams are going to spend incredible amounts of money in an effort to win, restrictions, taxes be dammed. That's simply the way they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's simply the way they are. Yup. The Cubs traded a guy who is clearly on track to be the #1 overall prospect on baseball for a rotation lefty controlled through their window. When you're trying to win you sell out, never hold back for a future that may never come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Perfect timing for us, we will have no big contracts on the books. No 20+ a year for the next 8 bs. Makes you wonder how much someone like Harper will command now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
