I would have to say there should be a salary cap in baseball. I think it does even the playing field for all teams. However, as you stated, spending the money doesnt always guarantee a championship, but it certainly puts you in a great position. Even with a salary cap, you will always have teams that will be bottom feeders. The Tampa Bay Rays have proven that you dont need a big payroll to compete.
