MLB NEEDS a Salary Cap and Salary Floor

[birdle @obirdle]

@jcalvinmeyer @editti22 he finally modernized his catching technique

he almost never started with his glove in the dirt in prior years but now he finally is this year

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

The Pirates have committed no errors today. And that's why you ignore fielding percentage at all times, ever.

Gunnar Henderson

2023 - unanimous ROY winner, 6.1 WAR
2024 - 9.1 WAR 😳
2025 - played all season with a shoulder injury and still had a 5.3 WAR

The amount of horrific takes on him by @TheAthleticMLB and just in general on this app is insane.

Going to make many eat crow this yr

[birdle @obirdle]

@CodifyBaseball i'm lowkey excited to see who is the best/worst with challenges lol

[AT @BaseballWRLD_]

Surely all 3 of these players are in the starting lineup in a must-win game

[birdle @obirdle]

@CodifyBaseball SALARY CAP FLOOR

[birdle @obirdle]

@JeffSkversky @SpikeEskin it's baseball, money doesn't matter

[Nick Wilson @NickWilsonSays]

The infuriating part of this is 65% of baseball fans have felt this way for a long time but it didn't matter to baseball until Mets, Yankees & Red Sox fans felt this way too

[birdle @obirdle]

@editti22 i see them as a team trying to save baseball by showing everyone the flaws in the system

[New Heights @newheightshow]

The Kelce brothers had two very different opinions on this year’s World Series 😅

[birdle @obirdle]

ONE STEP CLOSER TO A SALARY CAP AND FLOOR LETS GOOOOOO!!! #MLB #Dodgers #SAVEMLB

[Austin Oravec @AustinOravec]

The Dodgers CRUSHING the Brewers is the best case scenario for MLB because this series will help to justify the need for a salary cap and floor in 2027.

Baseball is broken!

Prove me wrong!!

[Phill @MeekPhill_]

The ghost runner rule in the regular season is good and I don’t need to see a Wednesday night game in July lasting 18 innings at 3 AM

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Major League Baseball will implement a challenge system for balls and strikes in the 2026 season after the league’s competition committee voted to usher in the era of robot umpiring. Teams will receive two challenges to dispute calls by the home-plate umpire.

[Jomboy Media @JomboyMedia]

MLB players will be able to challenge balls and strikes in 2026

[MLB @MLB]

BREAKING: Major League Baseball will use the Automated Ball-Strike Challenge System (ABS) during the entire 2026 season

ABS CHALLENGE RULES:

- Each team will get two challenges and can keep them if they're successful

- Challenges can only be initiated by a pitcher, catcher, or batter, and the request must come right after the pitch

- To signal a challenge, the pitcher, catcher, or batter will tap his hat or helmet to let the umpire know

- No help from the dugout or other players on the field is allowed

- In each extra inning, a team will be awarded a challenge if it has none remaining entering the inning

The ABS Challenge System powered by T-Mobile 5G network uses cameras set up around the perimeter of the field to track the location of each pitch and a graphic on the scoreboard shows the result of the challenge
