Re-Draft?

Lately the MLB has turned into a gold-digging franchise for the players.  First Ellsbury ditches his World Series winning team for a 7-year $153 million contract with the Yankees, and now Cano takes a 10-year $240 million deal with the Mariners.  Really? The fucking Mariners? You're gonna leave the biggest dynasty in baseball to play for the Mariners?  No one is going to want to pay him more than $20 million a year after 5 years when he washes up.  Don't get me wrong, Cano is a great player. But he is not far from Manny Ramirez in the cockiness category.  He'll sit back on his heals and not move his feet for a grounder, then fade away and throw a submarine lollipop to barely get the guy out. It's disappointing to see him leave because of his talent, but I'm not a big fan of him as a person.  Here's what should happen.. Each team can keep their captain and coaches, but everyone else has to go.  Completely redraft the entire MLB and start fresh, then see how good players actually are and how much they care about their job and their team.  Make them actually work for the absurd amounts of money they make.  And lower the salaries so I'm not paying $300 for a Yankees ticket and $20 for a beer.





P.S. Can the Mariners even afford to pay a 2nd basement that much money? How hard is it to play 2nd base in the MLB for a mediocre team and get a few hits here and there?
