"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports Yes. You dont understand how the business side of sports works. So Ill teach you. Biggest contract in mlb is Soto. He makes $50m AAV Ohtani makes $100m AAV on off-field endorsements specifically in LA. Ohtani could take a cap minimum in LA and still be highest paid player"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports hence why in salary cap leagues its more common place for players to force high price endorsements because they have incentive to refuse max deals from cities they dont like in order to go where they want and earn exponentially more from Nike or adidas. Youre welcome👍"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports now since you are learningheres where it goes. Stars group up in winning markets and bank endorsements unavailable in small ones. Big teams stay under the cap. Then bad markets strike out offering stars max $ and forced to overspend on aging vets to satisfy the floor👍"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports And heres more history yousmall market owners dont actually want a salary cap. Every lockout they float a salary cap so that the negotiations will meet in the middle and increase revenue sharing to satisfy MLBPA which they will pocket and not spend it increasing net worth👍"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports Sighpayroll is far from just the top handful of teams Again your point is defeated. More than Half the league on the payroll scale from 1st to 17th have been able to win. And again here are 50yrs of diverse results. You lost the argument👍"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports @Datapleaz Top tier being over half the league is not an imbalance of competition. Its a lack of effort from less than half on the bottom. Weve already been thru this.

"@JoshuaAHsu @_miggyxp @DanClarkSports You dont need a cap to restrict player movement. You could simply impose different standards for team control on draft prospect contracts and not make it a money decision. Problem is then players will do what Kobe Bryant did. And threaten to sit out"

"@JoshuaAHsu @_miggyxp @DanClarkSports Without a salary cap nba big fish wouldnt feel the need to stick together to ensure success and bank off-court wealth thru sponsors. If the big fish stars feel comfortable making their money without running mates then that opens up opportunity for smaller fish to spread out"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports @Datapleaz And I gave you data about the dodgers rebuilding for XX years. The second biggest market with a XX year no compete stretch. That defeats your point.

"@JoshuaAHsu @_miggyxp @DanClarkSports NBA already borders close to that. Thats why nba has very little parity. Every decade usually belongs to only 1-3 teams. MLB has no salary cap so player dont feel pressure to strongarm sponsors for bigger endorsements. Hence trout. But nbas Cap forces an endorsement culture"

"@JoshuaAHsu @_miggyxp @DanClarkSports Right now Ohtani is an outlier for endorsement. But if there was a capevery Judge/Soto/Tatis/Machado/Harper etc would be pushing for $100m in endorsement so they can ignore Pittsburgh and Milwaukees max contract offers. It would create endorsement greed in MLB"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports @Datapleaz No small markets can also do what the dodgers did and develop talent even when theyre not drafted. Dodgers werent bought.

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports @Datapleaz Thats not accurate. Ohtani/yamamoto/freeman/snell all had higher offers from other teamsthey all took less money to be dodgers citing that their system means more to them than the money from other teams. Sasaki is only making $700k on a minor league deal"

"@JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports @Datapleaz Wrong. Every team has an excess of $200m not being used on payroll. $200m is way it costs to get Ohtani/Yamamoto/snell/Mookie/freeman/Teo combined. And teams disputed the dodgers. I told you they took less to go to LA. So again salary cap cannot improve teams unwilling to try"

"@_miggyxp @JoshuaAHsu @DanClarkSports Many teams ownerships are simply sports profiteers. They use ownership to collect revenue shares and stock wealth. Re-invest little into their team and infrastructure. They use salary cap threats to pivot to higher revenue sharing because they dont actually want to compete"
