Prospect spending caps are easy


For the same two reasons that the draft has pay slots and there are caps on international spending.

1) The owners are always happy to limit spending

2) The MLBPA is made up of active veteran players. They don't care even a little bit about minor leaguers, and will sell them down the river every single day to get more for themselves.
