Major League Baseball proposed a salary cap for the first time in more than three decades, a move opposed by the players union and likely to ignite tension between the two sides ahead of negotiations over a new labor deal. The league’s proposal would cap team spending at about $245 million and put a salary floor at roughly $171 million, according to a document provided by MLB. The current collective bargaining agreement between the league and players is set to expire in December, leading to speculation there could be a disruption to the 2027 season as the two sides hash out payroll structure. In 1994, the owners pushed for a salary cap, and the Major League Baseball Players Association went on strike during the second half of the season. The impasse led to a big chunk of games and the World Series being canceled. Randall Williams, Bloomberg News Business of Sports Reporter, joins Intelligence Radio for a closer look.
