Major League Baseball has proposed delaying the implementation of a salary cap until 2028 during ongoing negotiations with the players' union, according to reports from the Associated Press.
The proposal comes as part of collective bargaining discussions between the league and the Major League Baseball Players Association. The current collective bargaining agreement runs through 2026, and the salary cap would be a new mechanism for the sport, which has historically operated without a hard cap on team payrolls.
Details of the proposal, including the structure of the cap and potential penalties for exceeding it, were not immediately disclosed. Both sides are expected to continue talks in the coming months.
