I don't really get the small market argument. Baseball has maybe the best parity in all sports. Thing about coles contract is that it has potential to blow up pujols style late in the deal. That's what makes baseball contracts great.
The current problem is Manfred wants home runs, not salary cap. If baseball can get back to not being home run paradise, small market teams have a great opportunity to compete. Those that don't win can blame terrible scouting and disengaged front offices.
