Baseball, like all professional sports, will always be a business... so a lot of this is here to stay (like cutting costs by setting up shop in the Dominican, etc.). However, I agree with two big ideas discussed previous: shortening the season and implementing a salary cap. I think that this will keep guys fresher for the playoffs (resulting in better play), and the salary cap... well that's obvious, haha. Also, even though there is a doomsday-like atmosphere to parts of this post, I would note that I think baseball is growing in popularity, regardless of what football/basketball do (examples - MLB network, frequency of games on ESPN, RBI academies, World Baseball Classic, etc.).
