so just skimming through ESPN's MLB page and I came across this report from the owners meeting:

"Manfred says all 30 teams are on board to split TV revenue -- yes, even the Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers -- and other high-revenue teams -- would surrender a competitive advantage under MLB's proposal, which would require them to share all of their local television revenue (they currently share 48%)."

That would pretty much be the news of the century for MLB wouldn't it?  So I read this as the way that the rich teams will get the poor teams to be willing to lock out the players over the hard cap. Without full revenue sharing, what would the poor teams care about the cap when their salary totals stay well below any cap?
