Yeah, it sucks, the Hawks had a guy who was on virtual steroids, but you can't change it now. It is what it is. Suspend the player, but that's all you can really do.
Yeah but the MLB is also imbalanced and terribly run. There are no salary caps so it's already a shitty uneven playing field. The luxury tax isn't effective.
If you are looking for fair and balanced play leading to healthy competition, baseball shouldn't be your poster child. When some roided out crazy dude is hitting more home runs, that sells more jerseys and tickets. It's in their best interest to not punish this shit. This is a bad analogy.
