Why is baseball dying people ask as one of the marquee franchises in the sport trades a CYA pitcher for spare parts as way to shed payroll (but not too much payroll since they're eating some of it) despite having one of the richest owners.

Baseball is literally the only of the 4 major American pro sports that are actively shedding salary. Football hasn't at all, Basketball didn't whatsoever and Hockey, while some teams have put an internal cap in place, none of them have tried to shed money. The only hockey teams shedding money are one's pressed against the new flat cap. So what's the difference between baseball and the other 3 sports? Why can they all afford to pay their guys and not shed salary but baseball supposedly can't?
