Most teams want this. The teams have been using the Luxury Tax as sort of a cap.
It was just last year that the Yankees and Dodgers filed a grievance against several teams for not spending the shared monies of the luxury taxes as intended.

What talent have the Yankees been “buying up” recently? Gio urshela cost $25,000, judge is making a whopping $550,000 a year. Most of them are homegrown.

They did sign DJ for 2 years on the cheap because he wanted to play for the Yankees.

George Steinbrenner’s been dead for 9 years and his sons hate the luxury tax and are not spending like crazy anymore.

The Yankees haven’t dominated the sport since then. They won one World Series title in the last 15 years, the same amount as the Royals and one less than the Cardinals.

Calling the Yankees the equivalent of the Patriots is both insulting to the Patsies and a compliment not worthy of the Yankers.
I didn't clarify that well enough. The Yankees are synonyms with the most money paid for players. The teams that spend the most win the most. The Sox, the Astros, the Cubs, the Dodgers, etc. There have been a few that were not top spenders.

That is a little simplistic. It was not a hard salary cap back then. It was just a salary cap and the problem was about revenue sharing. Let us not forget that the CBA negotiations were pushed until the final year. You don't think it was a huge deal to the players that they wanted to reduce their share of the revenues from 56 to 50%, oh and they expected the players to pay for their pensions and healthcare out of that reduced portion?
The hard cap was not the deal breaker.

The luxury tax is close enough and is serving as a de facto cap. Teams are no longer overspending on FA and the bigger markets are very cautious about committing to going over the threshold for extended periods due to the penalties.

MLB salary cap is a 2009 talking point. It’s no longer relevant.

Okay, fair enough. A not totally correct statement about buying up the talent. The Yankees are able to keep the talent they have when it comes to paying the big contracts. Teams like the Royals have to deal their players as they become expensive and attempt to rebuild.

The Yankees and teams like them simply reload, the Royals and teams like them must rebuild. Some of the resentment is from watching the Royals be used as a farm team for the rest of the league in the 1990s and 2000s.
