Playing baseball or playing monopoly? (Midterm Assignment)

There is a monopoly going on in the MLB. The only one that comes to mind is the New York Yankees. The Yankees are a team that makes a whole lot of the and, without a salary cap can just go out and spend all of their money. Basically they can just go to get an expensive player and they can win because of it. For those who don't know how a salary cap works, here's a link that explains it:
Salary Cap Explaination

As you read, in the NHL, NBA, and NFL; there is a salary cap which no team can exceed. On the other hand, there's no salary cap in baseball and that leads to wealthier teams like the Yankees to monopolize the system. I think that they need a salary cap to stop teams like the Yankees from monopolizing the system year after year.

What do you think about this situation in the MLB?

  1. I think the MLB should have a salary cap, for the reasons you said. I think in all other sports every team has a fair chance, unlike baseball where the Yankees, Red Sox, dodgers, and some other teams are the only teams that have a fair chance to win.
    I agree with you with an MLB salary cap.

  2. MLB needs to be spelled out for people who don't know what that stands for. You did not include any pictures or video. Why?
    You say the Yankees make a "whole lot," but please be more specific.

    Otherwise great choice in subject matter. I think it is an important issue to discuss and cover as a journalist. Why doesn't MLB have a salary cap?

    Please try including a pictures and fix some of the minor grammar issues like:
    As you read in that in the NHL, NBA, and NFL;--this sentence doesn't really make sense, but I know what you are trying to say.
    (Include pics and fix grammar for grade adjustment).
