If you're the union, do you take some sort of salary cap if the cap is relatively high but paired with a high floor? e.g., imagine a salary cap of $300m with a floor of $150m. is it possible to envision a trade off where it's worth it to accept a cap if it makes the pirates, rays, nats, brewers, a's, etc. spend up to a floor?

If they give in on a cap, that's it. It'll never go away, and it won't rise as quickly as the sport's revenues do. It's an irreversible loss.

Hello fellow Law.  Is it time for an International Draft?  The Dodgers signed Sasaki and the rich got richer.  But doesn't make sense for baseball as a whole to give smaller market teams a better chance at elite talent like Sasaki? What would it take to implement an Int Draft? Make the Qualifying offer less of a penalty? Demand teams have a salary floor?  Thanks!

Why shouldn't Sasaki, a 23-year-old major leaguer in his own country, get to choose where he goes? Your question centers the league and teams, but ignores the wishes of the player.

OK, gotta wrap this up. I'll have at least two things next week, another draft notebook and that 2025 impact prospects list. I've also got a review of the game Harvest going up at Paste in the next couple of days, so look for that too. Thanks for reading!
