When they're unable to get rid of the one or two that inevitably flop or have long term injury problems, and they're being sanctioned the most heavily for breaching FFP, it might not feel like it was such a good strategy. I think some of these transfer fees for players who've never played in England or a top 6 European league are ridiculous too. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I really just don't get it. You have your salary cap in the MLB of course. But there are ways and means to cut players far easier than football. Fundamentally you don’t build a team by just throwing a lot of players together and ignoring the big issues of a central defender and a central striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are only allowed 8 international loans out per season. Next season it gets reduced to 6. That was why Doherty had to have his contract cancelled. Spurs couldn't make another outgoing loan deal as they were already at 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are ways and means to cut players far easier than football. Fundamentally you don’t build a team by just throwing a lot of players together and ignoring the big issues of a central defender and a central striker To be clear, there is no salary cap in MLB. There’s a “luxury tax” - teams above it have to pay a percentage of any additional salary above the tax line in penalties, plus various other disincentives (draft pick forfeiture, international signing limits, etc.) which get more punitive for repeat offenders. Does it function like a salary cap? To an extent, and that’s how it was designed - MLB owners routinely collude and engage in practices which they only get away with because they have an anti-trust exemption no other major sport in the U.S. does. They’re a despicable group. But there are always a few owners who just flaunt the tax and go crazy (Steve Cohen of the Mets is the current poster boy).
