Steve Cohen thoughts on MLB salary cap


New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, who's become notorious for his free-spending ways in pursuit of a title, says he's undecided about whether a salary cap would help baseball.

"I'm listening to all of the arguments, but I've always been a league-first owner," Cohen told reporters Monday. "I haven't made up my mind yet, but we'll see where it goes - sometimes I put the league's interest above my own interest."

Owners are expected to push hard for a cap, something that players have long resisted, when the current collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1.
