Part 9/13:
One of the key issues debated is the possibility of implementing a salary cap in Major League Baseball. The consensus suggests that introducing such a system is highly unlikely, given the entrenched nature of big-money deals and the "out of the toothpaste" analogy—once the money is out, it’s tough to put back in.
The speaker likens this to NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) debate, asserting that efforts to contain or regulate player income face fierce resistance because the money flows freely and exponentially. The idea of stopping player salaries or instituting caps would be met with substantial opposition, as seen historically in hockey, where a salary cap nearly resulted in an entire lost season.
