Passan doesn't believe they'll lose a whole season though. He has said they'll get it wrapped up early on and may only miss a few games. 

I think there are numerous ways to get around a hard cap.  Keeping the CBT caps the same is like a 15%++ savings to the owners due to inflation.  The owners (imo) are looking to consolidate the entire broadcast revenue stream, which I think will mean a substantial revenue increase.  An international draft.

As soon as the trade happens, he gets instantly injured.

Was it a bad trade because Mead got HBP?

While Mayer never proved he was legit, neither has Miller.

Miller had had an ERA < 4.00 three straight seasons.  I hope for more, but he still has a career 3.04/3.64 ERA/FIP, over a 130 IPs.  That's fairly legit.
