The NFL instituted a salary cap for the 1994 season.
Since 1993, the average NFL salary has increased 554%
In MLB — with no cap, of course — salaries have increased 396%
Don’t listen to what the MLBPA and its friends keep telling you

MLB proposes delaying a salary cap until the 2028 season.
Raises minimum salary to $1 million in 2027.
Lowers free agency to 5 years instead of 6 years.
I’ve said this for the last month, but I strongly believe Myles Straw will be coming back to Toronto; it will just be for less money than what his option was.
Straw is such a huge part of that clubhouse in every way that a coach would want, especially from a role player

This could be something for later in the offseason, but I'd expect Myles Straw to remain an option for the #BlueJays if there's a role.
Straw has strong feelings about the organization and I haven't been around many players who were as well-liked by their teammates and coaches.
One of the least shocking things we’ve seen; Louis Varland has been named as a finalist for AL Reliever of the Year and Dylan Cease a finalist for the AL Cy Young
The Blue Jays have declined the 2027 option for Myles Straw
Reinstated Anthony Santander, Addison Barger, and Jonatan Clase, Jose Berrios, Cody Ponce, Bowden Francis, and Jake Bloss
No Gold Glove for Vladimir Guerrero Jr this year but in no way does that diminish how outstanding he was defensively this year for the Blue Jays
Hey guys- not baseball related.
Wondering if there’s anyone out there who is dealing with a chronic nerve injury where your body is constantly sending pain signals?
I am now in the hospital again for the second time in 2 weeks to manage pain and looking for answers anywhere I can find them
Thanks in advance!
Kind of surprised Nick Martinez is electing free agency- he would be a good one for the #BlueJays rotation.
Posted a 3.10 ERA in 31 starts and logged 15 wins. He also has a career postseason ERA of 2.96.
Michael King denied his player option with the Padres meaning he’s now an unrestricted free agent.
C’mon #BlueJays and Ross Atkins

First base coach talking to a runner: "Ok so stay here until you can go to the next one. If you get to that one try to get to the third one. A colleague of mine is waiting there for you"

Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby hasn't given up a run since Sept. 19, that's 22.2 innings ago.
