Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Thats impossible. It’s like saying you want all ballparks to have the same dimensions & same weather. 000
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026If it encourages owners to reinvest into the talent, I’m all for it. 000
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026100% agreed on the salary floor. Salary floor > salary cap for competitive balance 000
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Interesting point. Tanking is a development strategy, right? Sometimes it works (Astros), sometimes it doesn’t (orioles). Salary cap is restricting what can be spent on employees. It isn’t a strategy. Is that agreed? 200
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026If you’re open to an idea, would you support a salary floor that forced owners to spend a minimum? Brewers’ development program is arguably the best. Would forcing Attanasio (billionaire) to spend $175mm help them more, or would limiting what the Mets/dodgers could spend help the brewers more? 200
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 04/09/2026That speaks more to Angels ownership & front office. Angels & Pirates … Browns & Cardinals… Kings & Nets … every league has those perennial franchises regardless of spending or salary caps or etc 000
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Mets & Blue Jays have 2/4 biggest payrolls, but aren’t making the playoffs. If you’re open, would you be more in favor of a salary floor that forces owners to spend a minimum? If the Rays or Guardians or A’s had to spend $100mm every year, would that help them be more competitive? 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026For sure! What do we know ;) I’d be in favor of a salary floor so owners are forced to spend (imagine if the brewers or A’s or rays had to spend $100mm), more than a cap that limits what a player can earn. But owners would never agree to a floor without a cap. 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I’m not saying there isn’t a correlation between spending money on proven talent & winning - of course there is! I’m stating a salary cap is to help owners reduce operating costs by restricting/limiting player’s salaries. The purpose of a salary cap isn’t league balance, nor does it mean balance. 110
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/202653% of nba teams make the playoffs every year. 50% in the nhl. 43% in the nfl. They have salary caps… 40% in mlb. No salary cap. Through raw statistics & osmosis alone, all leagues with a salary cap will have more playoff team turnover - without a salary cap having anything to do with it ;) 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026And after the cap? Patriots, Chiefs, etc. Winning is tied more to ownership & front office than a cap. Salary cap does not guarantee competitive balance. 320
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes I absolutely agree with a floor. The reason for a floor is owners don’t reinvest in the team - look at rev sharing with the A’s and Pirates every three years having to spend money. Again though, salary caps are for owners not players. 000
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Can anyone prove that a salary cap leads to competitive balance? As a fan, it sounds warm & fuzzy that it will. I’d like proof if anyone has it. 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes AND it’s why you play the game. It isn’t supposed to be easy. It isn’t just about big markets or money- look at the Mets or Giants or Angels. The point remains salary caps benefit owners, not the players. As a fan, you should want a great front office more than a cap that benefits owners. 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I like the brewers! I also jealous of owners who spend in mlb. My point is ownership & front office are 100% more important to winning than a salary cap. MLB has more competitive balance and diversity of winning than the NFL and NBA. 110
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Salary cap doesn’t guarantee better competition or diversity in teams winning. 100
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Objectively false. Look at the Milwaukee Brewers. Look at the Tampa Bay Rays the last two decades - decades! The A’s & Rockies don’t stink because of lacking a salary cap. The Browns & Cardinals in the NFL don’t stink because they have a salary cap… Salary cap’s don’t benefit players. 420
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes QB is probably the single most important position in sports. But yhat is a fallacy, diversion, & not the reason why MLB owners want a salary cap. Foles, Darnold, Hurts? All in the last 10 years. The eagles did not win because of incredible quarterback play. I support capitalism & free market. 230
Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 03/09/2026That is objectively false & tired argument. Look at the last 10 Super Bowl champs. There isn’t more competitive balance in the NFL. Same goes for the NBA. Salary cap is not about competitive balance. John fisher doesn’t care about that. It’s about limiting individual incomes for the players. 3110

Daniel Stern @danielstern.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Salary cap/floor doesn’t translate to parity in the slightest. NFL has had the chiefs in Super Bowl three years in a row. NHL Florida panthers back to back. Front office is more important than a salary cap/floor. 000
