Type B compensation likely to be eliminated

Selig is an effing moron. Here's what's known about the new CBA. Don't bother reading unless you really want to get pissed off. The 10 smallest markets and the 10 teams with the smallest revenues all enter a lottery for 6 additional 1st and 2nd rounders. No more MLB deals for draftees. Cubans under 23 and less than 3 years of professional playing experience will count towards the new IFA budget. Which is 2.9 million per team. Eventually this number moves to between 1.8 and 5 mill. You will be able to trade money from your spending budget towards IFA money. However, you can only increase your budget 50 percent. If you go overslot on your draft spending limits by 5% you get taxed 75%. If between 5 and 10% its a 75% tax and loss of a 1st rounder. Between 10 and 15% its a 100% tax and a loss of a 1st and 2nd rounder. 15% or more its a 100% tax and loss of 2 1st rounders. This is all I've got for now. But good lord, this sucks worse than I could have imagined.

There's a thread in Baseball discussions where the changes are being discussed.
