Just out of curiosity, is the league experiencing major problems from this "tanking" situation? Like real life, are teams not being competitive purposely so they can compete later?
Average MLB team payrolls for the last few years. We probably don't need the +5% provision. As it stands, using the averages the cap would go up $17m. 2016 - $142m2015 - $135m2014 - $121m2013 - $111m
Where did you pull those numbers? Baseball Prospectus has these numbers2016 - $130m2015 - $125m2014 - $115m2013 - $106mmaybe you have year end numbers and these are opening day numbers
