'MLB Has to Make Adjustments': Ex-Commissioner Seizes Brewers’ World Series Moment to Push Major Change
The Milwaukee Brewers swept the $340 million Los Angeles Dodgers to reach the World Series, and reignited a debate about baseball’s economic structure. The Milwaukee Brewers' win over the Los Angeles Dodgers has sparked a debate about baseball's economic structure, with former MLB commissioner and Brewers owner Bud Selig suggesting that the team's success has given opponents of a payroll ceiling a compelling example to support their stance. Despite the team’ success, Selig believes that the salary cap debate is not settled and that MLB needs to make significant changes to its economic structure. He also highlighted that the Brewers’ World Series berth proves that payroll equality would produce more competitive baseball. Selig is no stranger to the salary caps debate, having previously led to a strike in the 1994–95 MLB season and cancellation of the World Series due to the financial fallout of the strike, which ultimately paved the way for modern MLB economic structures. However, he believes that despite the Brewers' dominance, the need for a salary cap does not eliminate the need perig for a soft cap.
