MLB is pushing to delay a firm salary cap until 2028, according to its newest collective bargaining agreement proposal that hit the table Tuesday.
The League’s Latest Cap and Floor Play
The league threw out some significant numbers with this proposal. We’re talking a firm cap not kicking in until 2028, and when it does, the proposed limit is $258.2 million. On the flip side, they’re looking at a floor of $180.2 million. That’s a huge spread, right?
A Slight Bump From the Last Offer
These aren’t just pulled out of thin air, either. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was quick to point out that these figures, both the cap and the floor, are actually a slight increase from what MLB had on the table in their last proposal. It shows they’re still moving the needle, even if it feels slow. What does that mean for future negotiations?
This is just the latest move in the ongoing CBA talks, and it sounds like more details are coming down the pipeline soon. We’ll be keeping a close eye on what develops next as the league and players continue to hash things out.
