Wait a few years. Most clubs' local media contracts are coming up for renewal, and look set for a considerable increase. (That was why Anaheim was willing to pay what it did to acquire Pujols—it had just concluded a new local broadcasting deal which was worth double the annual value of the previous agreement.) MLB's national broadcasting contracts expire after next season, and those too look set for a hefty increase.
If revenue goes up, salaries will follow.
