They don't do that because on the whole, the absence of a cap has driven player salaries up at a faster rate than would have otherwise been the case.

baseballs working on that. i think the league even set a cap floor to force teams like the marlins to spend more on payroll b/c the marlins owners made a profit by paying his players nothing (30 mil) while receiving (70 mil) in shared revenue.
so before the marlins ever sell a ticket or hot dog, they have already profited thanks to teams like the yankees.
