If I'm following MLB correctly this is what I see:
The market [[price for free agents) has gotten too expensive.
The 'remedy': Develop your own and control them at very sweet salary levels.
Eventually this market will even out where the price [[salary) for FAs will become more reasonable and teams will begin bidding on them.
What does Judge make? How much would he make if he were a FA and could command an open-market salary.
And yes, teams like Detroit, Miami, Pittsburgh, etc. aren't doing anything to keep FA competition going.
