The Bad Economics of Baseball

Major League Baseball is so different from the NFL in terms of payroll. In the NFL, there is a salary cap, in MLB there is no salary cap. In the NFL, teams have revenue sharing that gives each team a chance to compete. MLB doesn’t have that. There are small market and large market in the NFL, but because of revenue sharing, all teams have the same amount of money. The highest payroll in MLB is the New York Yankees with $206,333,389. The smallest payroll is the Pittsburgh Pirates with $34,943,000.
