Former Cincinnati Reds first baseman appeared to take issue with the idea of adding a salary cap in Major League Baseball. Maybe he's right.

Writer Drew Koch of Blog Red Machine argues that the Reds should heed this perspective instead of relying on calls for a salary cap.
Koch highlights that small-market franchises like the Cleveland Guardians, Milwaukee Brewers, and Tampa Bay Rays succeed through investments in analytics and player development. The writer asserts that Cincinnati's postseason struggles stem from issues within ownership and the front office rather than financial limitations.
