MLBPA: 'Never Broken,' Will Fight Cap

MLB proposed a salary cap last week, which would limit team spending to $245.3 million by 2027 with a minimum floor of $171.2 million. The Los Angeles Dodgers alone had a $415.2 million payroll this season. Meyer emphasized that baseball's players have always been the most unified among major sports, with the union never accepting a salary cap unlike the NFL, NBA, and NHL.

Baseball has experienced nine work stoppages since 1972, including a 99-day lockout that slightly delayed the 2022 season. The union has proposed expanded free agency, salary arbitration rights, doubling the major league minimum, and increased revenue sharing as alternatives to the cap. milkshakeslot.online
