Major League Baseball has adjusted its latest labor proposal regarding the implementation of a salary cap, but the concept remains a nonstarter for the players' union, according to a report published Tuesday.
The league's revised approach changes how and when a salary cap would be introduced, though specific details of the adjustment were not disclosed. The players' union has consistently opposed a hard salary cap, viewing it as a restriction on player earnings and competitive balance.
Labor negotiations between MLB and the MLB Players Association continue as both sides work toward a new collective bargaining agreement. The salary cap issue has been a longstanding point of contention in baseball's labor history.
