I think your stance has merit... but I would imagine the tax is larger for the team that is making the move that will make them better instantly vs the team that will see results 3-4 years out.D-train wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 8:11 pmWhy wouldn't the Astros have to pay more for our prospects or SP. Why does the Tax only apply to us and not them? If a team is out of it and wants to rebuild then they should not care if it is within a division. The team sending prospects is FAR less likely to want to be destroyed by their former prospect for YEARS than the team selling a player with limited control, even a very good one.
It often costs buyers more than the sellers at the deadline.
