Suggestions to fix MLB league parity
1. TV revenue divided. Moon proposed tjis and it does make sense. If the Reds are appearing on TV in Los Angeles, they should be paid for it. The Dodgers get the same courtesy for appearing on TV in Cincinnati.
2. League-controlled revenue sharing allotment system. Instead of handing out checks and hoping teams spend, give each team a league account that is used solely for spending on their team, in free agents, draft picks, extensions, etc. If you don’t spend it, you don’t get it. (I’m open to rolling it over, but you still don’t get it if you don’t spend it.)
3. Revamp draft order for all non- playoff teams drafting in order from best record to worst, followed by playoff teams in the current “worst to best” format. Stop rewarding losing teams and reward the teams that are trying. Lotteries are stupid. Not even sure what they are supposed to accomplish, especially weighted ones.. Does the league really think they prevent tanking, etc?
4. Fire Manfred and replace him with an orangutan that knows sign language. Or one that doesn’t. Both are steps up…
