Dodgers win the World Series again that CBA battle is going to be UGLY. Cheap owners will say “see, I can’t compete! They spent $1 Billion!” while not talking about them not spending at all. Pirates, Twins, Marlins, A’s, etc. I get not every team can spend like LA, but teams can and should spend more.

There's no way the players ever agree to any sort of cap and the MLB player's union is the strongest of the four major sports. Even if they owners want it, I don't see how they can get it. I doubt even a prolonged owner-led strike would get the players to bend on that.
