- Commissioner Rob Manfred has held yearly meetings with players promoting a salary cap, but the union expresses significant doubt about its benefits.
- The players’ association argues that a salary cap would reduce competition and not necessarily increase player earnings.
- Payroll disparities remain large, with the Los Angeles Dodgers projecting $408 million in 2025 compared to $86 million by the Miami Marlins.
- Another labor dispute is anticipated when the current agreement expires in December 2026, with uncertainty over possible game cancellations.
I think the whole premise is wrong.— Bruce Meyer, the deputy director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, stated on the television show 'Foul Territory.'
