The most common argument against a cap is 'tell your owner to spend more money'. It's not that simple. The vast majority of top free agents don't even look at small market teams because they know their contract would cripple the team. So in that case, spending more money is overpaying for mid-level free agents.
As a Royals fan, I'd be good with getting rid of shared revenue if it was accompanied by a salary cap and salary floor. Bad decisions that cost a lot of money should have a negative impact on a team, but the top teams just go get the next guy up.
