What's Holding The MLB Back from Being Like The NBA
Major League Baseball Will NEVER Be the NBA. Ever. The NBA thrives on competitive balance with a strict salary cap that allows even small-market teams like the Milwaukee Bucks to retain superstars like Giannis Antetokounmpo, building championship-caliber rosters. But MLB? It’s a different story. With no salary cap, big-market teams are dominating the landscape, making it harder for small-market clubs to keep their stars and stay competitive. In this video, we’ll explore why baseball is starting to resemble the Premier League rather than the NBA, creating an environment where financial heavyweights control the field.
From Tampa Bay’s challenges keeping talent like Blake Snell to the Dodgers’ massive spending spree, this lack of spending control means small teams struggle. And for fans, it’s tough to stay loyal when your favorite player is constantly traded away. We’ll compare NBA champions like the Denver Nuggets, who won under the salary cap system, to the Premier League, where just a few teams like Manchester City and Chelsea consistently dominate. Could MLB be heading the same way?
We’ll also dig into MLB payroll trends: the Royals won in 2015 with the 13th-highest payroll, but most recent champions, like the Dodgers, top the payroll list. This trend suggests a diminishing Cinderella story chance, where only deep-pocketed teams make serious playoff runs.
Baseball’s postseason has always been about unpredictability and underdogs, but as payroll divides grow, it’s becoming a rich team’s game. Join us as we unpack the financial rift threatening to reshape America’s pastime. Is MLB losing what makes it special? Watch now to find out!

As a Dodgers fan I almost feel sad for the Giants fans and do think it's much more than the problems in the city it is in itself. (mostly ownership and a toxic culture within the organization)

    While the Luxury Tax could be a viable alternative to Salary Cap, MLB should have the Salary Floor of $100m, forcing the owners of the small market team to spend the minimum amount before the opening day. If fails, the team will lose the 1st and 2nd Round Draft Picks.

    Only the last 3 years he's been great. He's a late bloomer. Unless he keeps up his game he's not going to be remembered because he's not breaking career records. He's overrated. He ruined his career because he started as a two way player. I think hes going to fall apart soon. 3 years of being a good hitter if you stop pitching wont get you the HOF. He might make the HOF just because hes a DEI hire.

    Ohtani probably used that notebook with his father, but I think people are missing a huge fact that he uses the Harada method, which is used for self improvement and leadership. If you google "Shohei Ohtani Harada Method" you will see a huge chart with all his goals. I think Ohtani's high school coach is pretty smart; he coaches at a small school in Japan that produced Shohei Ohtani, Yusei Kikuchi, and his son who's the number one high school player in Japan that set the high school home run record will be playing at Stanford.

    Rays until this year proved you don't need a high payroll to be competitive. It's the owner's job to pay players if they want to keep "the player fans want." League revenue seems fine, so it doesn't seem like fans are not showing up when things are shaken up. Even in basketball, free agents usually just end up in the popular cities.
