Let's Contract Two Different Teams

The point that the advocates of the "increase the supply and make them all free agents" always ignore is the demand side of the equation. In a free market, prices are determined by supply _and_ demand. If you make everyone a free agent, there might be more shortstops available, but there will also be a lot more teams that need a shortstop, and it will all balance out. A-Rod will still get his $15-$20 mil.

Yes, it would get rid of the stupid long-term deals, but the salaries will be just as high. There might be more "fish in the sea" but there will also be more fishermen.
