Kenny makes a lot of great points about having a salary cap in baseball even stating that he has very little room to complain since the White Sox are one of the big market teams. Their payroll is at $125,000,000. Last year the lowest payroll in the MLB was $34,000,000. Even still, he would be for a 'lock-out' so that regular 'joes' like us can go see a game at an affordable price and maybe buy a hot dog or Coke.
If we're going by what the current market dictates based on a player of his calibre both on and off the field, then 'yes.' Pujols deserves to make more money than A-Rod. The problem is no body who plays a game deserves that kind of money in one year.
Despite the fact that not having a salary cap helps my deep-pocketed team, I am for a baseball salary cap.
