Well, there is outrage at the pay packets of CEOs of major corporations. At least from some folks. But then, outrage often tends to be curiously selective in its expression.
The two things that free agency ushered in: (1) a rise in salaries for all players; and (2) a much greater amount of stratification in salaries (i.e. the range between minimum, average, and highest salaries).
I suspect, though I haven't actually crunched the numbers to check, that the distribution of salaries in MLB these days exhibit a Pareto distribution.
