(I think it's remarkable only in that it took this long; some of us were arguing this was a worthwhile tack some time ago, though perhaps it took us getting to the level of "neighbors getting kidnapped off the street by feds" for normal people to realize it was happening)

here's the thing: nobody guaranteed anyone "competitive balance" and all signs in sports around the world are that manipulating finances in the interest of "competitive balance" make fewer people watch. The Rays just won the American League East.

Any cap on what a worker can earn means that it artificially shifts money from the worker, who earned it, to the manager, who didn't. Hope that helps.

This is not true! At all! Will a single day go by without the New York Times printing something that's not only not supported by the facts of the story but in fact refuted!?
In January, Mr. Trump sent U.S. commandos to remove Mr. Maduro
from power. He then moved to bring Venezuela’s riches under American
control. It was a gamble that investment would bring reform, and not
the other way around.

Max Scherzer going on short rest to catch Verlander's strikeout total -- and nearly damn well doing it -- is some all time inner circle king petty shit, and I mean that in the most complimentary way imaginable. You gotta tip your cap to a true psycho, and Max Scherzer is an all-time baseball psycho.
