The MLBPA is a lot stronger than the NHLPA.The NHLPA was thoroughly against a cap system, too.
You know how baseball can create new fans? Excitement in lots of different markets. If your team goes on a run, people get interested. Oh, and appeal to Latinos in certain cities with huge latino populations by implementing a salary floor along with the cap. If you can even just make the Marlins relevant you can grow by your fanbase a couple percentage points.
MLB may stagnate a while, but it'll still be a major player for a very, very long time.
With TV coverage what it is, those markets have fans. Nashville probably wont get a new team as the 5 teams who broadcast in Nashville will fight it.
