Donald Fehr, the executive director of the Players Association, doesn't believe that a salary cap is in baseball's future. "We've been down this road before and we saw where this led us," Fehr said. "We spent an awful lot of time after the strike and again in 2002 and 2006, tying revenue sharing to the competitive balance tax and the free-agency system. "It's difficult for me to envision a situation where we'd make a wholesale change in the system. It's nearly impossible for me believe that the players would be in favor of a salary cap." Mark Attanasio, owner of the Brewers, and John Henry, owner of the Red Sox, said this offseason that Major League Baseball needed a salary cap when the Basic Agreement expires at the end of 2011. |
