Potential New York Mets owner Alex Rodriguez calls for radical change

Alex Rodriguez is pulling out all the stops to get a deal done to purchase the New York Mets. He’s upped his bid to around $2 billion, he’s sold off development rights to Robert Kraft, and now ESPN is reporting that he’s calling for a salary cap, although Rodriguez argues that he is not advocating for this.

Multiple reports have claimed that Steve Cohen faces one major challenge in his pursuit to buy the Mets — the new CBA. Owners reportedly fear that Cohen would spend so much money it would change the landscape of MLB.
