I don't think they will ban deferrals but I do think they will limit how much of a contract can be deferred and/or how much a team can use deferrals and/or change the way deferrals are calculated against luxury tax thresholds etc.

Do they have to hold it all in escrow like in the NFL?

I don't believe so.

In that case, I imagine they'll reform this once an owner colossally fucks up his finances and can't payout the salaries.

I want to say there is like a percentage or something that is done but I cant remember exactly what it was.... Nonetheless only a select few teams are able to take this type of debt load on decades in the future and not worry

Agreed. There are only maybe 7 or 8 teams that can do this.

Yeah they have to do something. It’s clear that the Dodgers do not care about losing/falling back in the draft order and don’t care for the international free agent money like I thought they would. Only way I see it getting fixed it by straight up stripping picks and penalties so bad it makes your eyes water.
