correct? They do have restrictions on free agency though I think.

They are only able to have those restrictions because they were granted anti-trust status by Congress. College football has no such exemption.

Yes, because the players union agreed to those restrictions***

It sounds like MLB, despite having no salary cap, is way more restrictive

and has far more rules when it comes to buying players than college football does.

As others have said, MLB has a luxury tax...

While MLB teams can theoretically spend as much as they want, the luxury tax charges teams with high payrolls a considerable amount of money, which incentivizes teams to keep their payrolls below that $237 million level in 2024. The tax is pretty steep (e.g., 30% on the first $20 million over, 42% on the next $20 million, 75% on the third $20 million, and 90% on any amount over $237million.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

It looks like the NY Mets are the Texas AM of MLB with a payroll of $343M.
