The Kansas City Zephyrs

The five areas under dispute between baseball owners and players are: 1. Roster depreciation 2. Current roster salary 3. Amortization of signing bonuses 4. Non roster guaranteed contract expense 5. Stadium operations

Who is right? 1. Roster depreciation: The owners
The owners capitalized and amortized 50% of the purchase price over six years because that is the maximum percentage allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. I would argue that the value of the player roster is somewhat subjective. The players argument, however, is that with experience comes greater value. That is an argument that can be debated.

2. Current Roster Salary: The Players
For

    In the world of professional sports, many of the athletes, managers and owners consider it to be a business more than sport. Players being traded, coaches being fired, and entire teams being sold are all a result of the financial implications often related to the organization's success. Every so often, you hear of a blockbuster trade that can impact not only a single player or team, but even an entire city or country. Twenty-two years ago, the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings completed a trade that shocked an entire nation and introduced hockey as a valuable economic investment for the southern United States.…

    The current Collective Bargaining Agreement includes a limited salary cap and entry-level salary cap, and expires September 15th, 2004. It is no longer successful at controlling rapid growth in player salaries and forming a direct link between salary growth and league revenues. The Unified Report of Operations claims that the majority of NHL teams have lost money in recent years. Owners believe that there are “major deficiencies in the current contract that has led to significant financial losses and a competitive imbalance. Smaller teams can’t compete with larger teams; therefore the league can’t be competitive. There is a transition from a local market to a league-wide market, so players’ salaries are escalating to levels that are unsustainable. Entry-level salary caps are ineffective due to signing bonuses. The NHL revenue growth equals 173%, while the players’ salary growth equals 261% over the term of the CBA. The players’ salaries account for 75% of NHL revenues, which is much higher than other sports. Owners believe a mechanism is needed to control player salaries and tie them to revenues. Players question the validity of the financial information, URO, and Levitt Report. Players argue against the proposed solutions and say free market forces should determine players’ salaries. There is no validity in the owners’ financial statements, which may support that the lack of revenues is due…
