I would like the New York Mets to win the World Series, please

The New York Mets are the team I'm rooting for to win the World Series this year. Steve Cohen bought a controlling interest in the Mets in 2020. He's the richest owner in Major League Baseball with a fortune of $17.5 billion per Forbes. In 2021, the Opening Day payroll was $195 million, about $37 million more than their 2019 payroll. The 2022 Opening day payroll increased by $69 million.

The New York Mets are the team I'm rooting for to win the World Series. I hope they will do so because baseball needs a salary cap and a wage floor. Steve Cohen bought a controlling interest in the Mets in 2020. He's the richest owner in Major League Baseball with a fortune of $17.5 billion per Forbes. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement institutes penalties for repeatedly spending above the threshold. The threshold in 2022 was $290 million. In 2023, the teams can go above it, but they must pay an additional 80% on every dollar. They also have to pay competitive balance taxes.

The Mets are winning the World Series. Evan Drellich is rooting for them to win. He believes that the team's success could be a catalyst for a salary cap and salary floor. The Athletic quotes a rival executive on Cohen's spending spree. The owners have the money. Small market teams like the Royals pull in at least $215 million in revenue a year, while large market team pull $500 million. Drelich wants to see the Mets win the series. They might not change the system much, but they might change something.

Rival executive says the sport is broken. He's upset about the Mets' three times the median payroll.

"It's going to have consequences for him down the road," says an official with another major league team.
