Major League Baseball issued its latest collective bargaining proposal today, pushing the implementation of a salary cap and floor from two thousand twenty‑seven into the two thousand twenty‑eight season.
The proposal also includes a one million league‑minimum salary increase and a fifteen million dollar boost to the pre‑arbitration bonus pool, with an additional ten million dollar contribution over the agreement’s life.
The one million minimum applies only to players with more than two years of service, while those with under two years receive a nine hundred thousand minimum and may receive a one hundred thousand bonus if they secure a full year of major‑league service.
The cap is projected at two hundred fifty‑eight point two million dollars with a one hundred eighty point two million floor, contingent on 2027 revenue.
