It will either show us that Dolan can afford to have a payroll of at least $100m and thus outing him for being extremely cheap or it forces him to sell the team. Either way it’s a win win. I understand owners will get a share of the new tax to help but they can’t give that much money to cheap owners to make it to $100m no way the players vote that down.

The top FA's are still gonna gravitate to the top-paying teams. Getting the cheap teams to $100 M is nice, but it still doesn't put them in position to sign the big FA's. That said, I want to see it so I can see what our FO would do. I have huge respect for what they've done with so little money. I can only imagine what they could do with a decent payroll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moneyball WITH an analytics spin means that they would HAVE to spend money somewhere, and that's likely arms. At least if you have the horses and don't have to get rid of them, then you are always going to be in the thick of things with the deadline looming. Then, on years where you are in contention, you trade a guy and get a massive return of bats, or otherwise you sell (see: this team) and get a nice recoup of value while still maintaining your core roster and foundation.

zelbell Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Forcing us to actually spend is nice and all but we all know we’re just going to overpay random relievers and worthless outfielders every season to meet the salary floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger murdock Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The way me and my friends describe the Indians is this.... If the Cavs had the Indians front office they would have probably gotten 2-3 titles instead of 1. If the Cavs had the Indians owners we would have traded LeBron after his rookie contract for a few future first rounders and expiring's so we wouldn't have to max him. A salary floor is a good idea for the competitiveness of the league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
