Of course, the reverse would happen, as the players would want the biggest contracts possible to get as much as they could after taxes, and anyway all players except those at the minimum MLB rate are taxed in the highest bracket to begin with.

Presumably your tongue was in your cheek, but I'm feeling like a spoilsport right now.
