MLBPA Vows to Fight Salary Cap Proposal

MLBPA interim director Bruce Meyer vowed to fight management's salary cap proposal during a news conference, emphasizing that the union has never been broken and will continue to resist salary caps. MLB proposed a cap last week with a potential lockout looming after the current labor contract expires Dec. 1.

The union's stance comes as MLB proposed limiting team spending to $245.3 million by 2027 with a minimum payroll requirement of $171.2 million. The Dodgers' $415.2 million payroll this year far exceeds the proposed cap. Meyer noted that unlike other sports leagues, baseball players have avoided salary caps due to their unity, which he plans to maintain during negotiations. newssport.cv
