I'd be inclined to agree and it's obviously not apples to apples but the NBA owners changed the apron rules without securing a ton from the players, in spite of the fact that it is overly punishing of teams willing to spend. I never overlook the willingness of rich guys to try to protect themselves from having to over spend. Why wouldn't the Dodgers overpay more players to do similar? Everyone won't take it but some will and that ultimately can't be good for the television product long term, every sport gets sick of the dynasty eventually.
