It would get players to FA younger, and increase what they get before they get there.
It also seems like this is the opportunity for the major league teams to correct the slave labor pay of minor league players.
Otherwise, it's just more money in the pockets of the owners.

I've been thinking about this a lot also. I agree on all points, but why on Earth would the owners agree to this if it didn't include some sort of salary cap? It seems to me that they have all the leverage here.
