I get the aging argument. But if the owners are gonna go that route, they're gonna need to bring the salary floor up a bunch

Yeah I get that, but there are alot of people working for billionaires who get paid jack shit nothing and you have people that are getting paid 10-15 million a year bitching because they're not getting 20-25 million a year.

I could care less whether the owners or the players have more of the pie. Class warfare between billionaires and millionaires just doesn't seem worth it - no horse in that race. Just let supply / demand to do its thing. Inflated markets always even out. That's all we're seeing here.
EDIT: Sorry...inflated markets even out EXCEPT for when government involvement - intentionally or not - artificially support an inflated market. I'm looking at you, college tuition.

MLB.com has done the top 10 prospects at RHP, LHP, C, 1B and 2B for 2018.
Nick Pratto is our only prospect to make any of the top 10s so far, and will probably be the only one as I'm not sure we will have anyone on the top 10 for 3B, SS or OF. Came in at #4 for first basemen. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2018?list=1b |

Austin Jackson signed a 2 year, $6 million deal with the Giants. He's not really a $15 million player but he had a really good year last year.

Likely puts a lid on any Cain signing by the Giants. Seems like he might end up going back to the Brewers - not much noise from any other teams.

The Brewers already have an issue with too many outfielders. They seem to be willing to make aggressive moves, but if they did sign an OF they'd be looking to trade someone like Domingo Santana, who was pretty good last year. |

So things cooled down with Cain to the Rangers?
I guess things have always been ice cold with every free agent. |

But a lot of fans will watch the jersey no matter who is wearing it.

Rangers linger. I don't know how much they are driving anyone's market, though.

Not surprising. Pratto didn't do enough to earn that status in his debut. I still like him, though. Quote:
I think he ends up in Milwaukee or Texas, though if I'm the Royals, I'd be thinking long and hard about taking my Hosmer money and spending it on a combo of Cain and Moustakas (at this point you can probably get both for less than what Hosmer was offered). If the Brewers move an OF, I'd expect some combo of prospect Monte Harrison and Keon Braxton rather than Santana. And I'd expect the return to be a quality SP. If they land Darvish in FA and add a solid #2/3 type behind him via trade, that team is built to do damage.
