Of the four major sports, baseball seems to have the most disparity. Now a lot of that is due to cheap owners, but a lot is also due to the uneven value of tv deals where the Dodgers and Yankees are worth a ton and you have to pay people to watch the Pirates (jk). Unless the owners agree to pool all regional money nothing will change. I know they're trying to move everyone to mlb and a number of teams you can buy direct through mlb bypassing cable, but they can't have a salary cap unless all revenue is pooled. Even then the players will likely never agree to it.
