The real issue is the need for a salary floor, not a cap.
According to the list I've seen floating around, only nine teams even spent 50% of their revenue on payroll (NYM, LAD, TOR, PHI, ARZ, SD, TEX, LAA, KC), and there were six teams below 40% (MIA, CHW, TB, PIT, CHC, CLV).
Make 50% the salary floor, and things would get a lot more interesting.....
