The players' strike in 1994 that canceled the World Series was in direct response to the league's efforts to move to a capped system. [B][SIZE=6]Some of the same talking points used by MLB in the 1990s -- particularly about the lack of profitability of teams amid an environment that has seen immense growth in franchise value and revenue -[/SIZE][/B]- have reemerged in recent years. "In the back of our heads, we're like, 'Why are you talking to us like owning a baseball team is like owning a nail salon?'" Castellanos said. "That you're only going to be a functional business if you can make up the money that you put in this year?” Sound familiar? ;) [/QUOTE]
