The salary cap is not socialistic. The Yankees do not compete against the Red Sox. They compete against Desperate Housewives and Six Flags and the new Star Wars movie. The Yankees benefit from the existence of the Royals and the Twins, but none of those teams receives any cut of the cable money that the Yankees receive from their exclusive market position. If you want to argue that the salary cap is bad, that's fine, but you have to allow teams to relocate to New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut and Manhattan. Considering true market forces, there should be about 7 teams in the NY metro area.

MLB doesn't have a salary cap. Apples and oranges
