Part 2/8:
Rubenstein was clear about his stance on the financial structure of baseball, stating that the system, as it currently stands, is in need of improvement. He highlighted the existing luxury tax regime, which incurs penalties on teams that surpass a certain payroll threshold, but he also expressed a belief that a salary cap similar to those in the NFL and NBA may be necessary in the future. This mention of a potential salary cap is a significant development, considering that it has been a sensitive issue in MLB negotiations.
