	Salary cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Salary caps are often the major issue in negotiations between management and players' unions.
		Salary caps were largely unnecessary in the era of the reserve clause, which was long a standard clause in professional sports player contracts and which forbade a player from negotiations with another team without the permission of the team holding that player's rights even after the contract's term was completed.
		Due to bonuses, the amount of a player's salary counts towards the salary cap is not necessarily the same as the amount which he is actually paid in the current year.

	Baseball Prospectus \| Articles \| The Daily Prospectus: Salary Cap
		There's a mythology that surrounds the salary cap, one so ingrained in any discussion of the topic that to get through the layers of misconceptions takes the work off on a half-dozen tangents, all of which are informative and entertaining, but which make for a difficult read.
		Salaries are not limited on an individual basis, but by team, so the restriction is not on the players, but on the teams.
		A salary cap merely keeps teams from bidding on labor past a certain point, regardless of the value of the available labor or the team's resources, with the effect of lowering salaries across the board.

	Salary Caps 101
		Player salaries are also capped depending on tenure in the league, but there are so many exceptions to this rule that it rarely has a major impact on the salaries of star players, the ones the true cap on salaries is supposed to affect.
		Obviously the NBA salary cap and luxury tax structure are not overly constraining and therefore qualify as a soft cap.
		When calculating the impact on the salary cap, though, the player does not count $11 million the first year and $1 million per year thereafter (the way he is paid), he can count as $3 million each year of the contract (($10 mil +$5 mil) / 5 years).

	Salary Cap? - Baseball Fever
		The NBA salary cap, which has a bit more flexibility, is a bit more reasonable, but even that causes some stupid outcomes (like the Hawks trading all-star Glenn Robinson for a guy who retired three years ago just for cap reasons).
		A cap however, you'd still have the afore mentioned teams scrimping and saving every penny whilst not really caring what the on field product is like (well TB look good despite their payroll, shame about their division).
		What I would like to see in baseball is not a salary cap that increases player movement, but a kind of cap that encourages teams to develop their own players.
