after sim 13, 2055:
with the salary demands at +20% now, i think that will help a lot and keep cash down. the league had 11 teams negative in projected profit, so those teams weren't making money during the year.
the rebuilding teams that were making cash and had positive projected revenue were 7 teams: Boston, Cleveland, Minnesota, New York Yankees, Texas, Florida, and San Diego. so that's a total of 11 + 7 = 18 teams rebuilding or losing cash. now let's take a look at the other 12 teams and see what is going on.
Arizona - they made a ton of cash and had a lot of projected revenue, because they had a $61.5 mil team payroll, so when that happens, teams will make a lot of cash.
Los Angeles Dodgers - they have a big revenue, but still shows them with only 24 mil projected profit for that 2055 season. you'll always have teams like that being able to do this if they want, but it's not worth hurting a Pit team revenue (Pit is just an example, they don't speak for all the small revenues). with the +20% salary demands, which hasn't been implemented for too long and not being able to offer contract extensions until July is moving in the right direction, but we need more time for this to take hold.
New York Mets - they are somewhat rebuilding now, but they lose a good bit in revenue sharing too. and they also didn't spend nearly what they could have.
Philadelphia - only showed them at $1.9 million projected revenue, so they spent what they could.
St. Louis - only showed them at $1.6 million projected revenue, so they spent what they could as well.
Baltimore - showed them at $23.3 mil projected revenue, but again they could have spent more too, but as we know, most teams like to have some cushion and not always spend every last dollar they have.
Detroit - showed tham at $14.4 mil projected revenue. but, they are another one of the big thumpers with the revenues, but they spent a lot on their team and saved some back.
Houston - they are kind of in the rebuilding/going for it mode. so they did make a good bit, but not sure where they are at yet either.
Kansas City - showed them at $23.9 million projected revenue, but they aren't a large revenue team, and with mike, he'll def spend in the future.
Los Angeles Angels - they had a good bit of money they could have spent in what was their 1st year of making playoffs in a long time, i expect they'll spend a lot in the future for this to not be a problem.
Oakland - showed them at only $9.4 million projected revenue, so they spent about what they could.
Toronto - showed them at $16.6 million projected revenue
most teams were at $16 mil or less projected revenue, but that's good, most teams if they can won't go over budget so they can make some cash for future use, when they do go over. we also have WB that gets cash out of the file for some of these teams. the +20% salary demands and July 1st (being first time able to do extensions) will start to help with this more.
so what i'm trying to say is even with revenue possibly increasing, most teams are still spending money. i do think it is smart to watch the revenues, and if they start spiraling to 150, then something needs to likely be done, but as you said as long as it's about same as it is now, i think it's ok. i guess i just don't see it as that big of a problem right now.
