With him being one of the most powerful baseball owners ever, does this lead to a hard salary cap being more likely? Or will it still never happen?

Problem is they have revenue sharing in baseball. So teams like the Royals, Indians, even the Marlins they get plenty of money from teams like Yankees and Red Sox but their owners choose not to out the money back into the team, rather than into their own pocket.
What made Steinbrenner exceptional was every dollar he got from selling tickets etc… He put right back into the team buy signing big free agents and turning this team into a winner.
Other orginizations choose to just take that money and claim they've got no money and they can never win

I haven't heard something that stupid from someone supposedly educated (but obviously a baseball homer), as wasn't that sort of like the Yankees offseason a few years ago when it got Sabathia, Burnett, and Texeira?
Althought that statement didn't go beyond the WTF?? quality of the question I got asked yesterday, I believe that this man was far more educated as he was a former baseball GM.

Baseball is too deep a roster and too complex a sport to truly buy a team anyway. The Marlins have won 2 world series in less than 20 years with a dinky payroll while the Cubs and Red Sox went decades and decades without one while spending tons and tons of money.
