MLBPA Vows Fight Against Salary Cap

MLB proposed a salary cap last week, with a lockout threat looming after the current labor contract expires December 1. 'Our union has never been broken and never will be,' Meyer said during an online news conference, noting baseball is the only major sport without a salary cap.

The union has proposed expanded free agency, arbitration rights, and a nearly doubled minimum salary, while MLB's 2027 spending cap would be set at $245.3 million with a $171.2 million payroll floor. Baseball has experienced nine work stoppages since 1972, with regular-season games last lost during a 1994-95 strike. milkshake.it.com
