BREAKING: In its next CBA, the league is proposing a max contract length of 5 yrs for free agent players switching teams, 6 years to retain their own players. No deferred contracts. Qualifying offer is gone too. Also, 5 years to free agency for players 30 or older.
Letโs punish small market teams increasing taxes for not meeting a threshold,
But letโs increase the CBT for big market teams so their taxes are decreased.
Makes zero sense, just initiate the lockout after this season.
The MLBPA made its first proposal to MLB today in collective bargaining. Among the topline issues:
- A "competitive-integrity tax" for any team that does not spend $150M
- Increase minimum salary from $780,000 to $1.5M
- Increase in base CBT threshold from $244M to $300M
What is going on with MLB and the Dodgers is a complete joke
No one wants to see this nonsense
Shohei Ohtani, Yoshi Yamamoto, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Blake Snell, now Edwin Diaz, etc on the same roster
And they'll probably get Tarik Skubal too, the way things are going
MLB is ruined with all of this deferred money and just letting the Dodgers have a $5 Billion payroll
Clown league, now
I disagree with almost 100% of everything Charlie Kirk says and stands for.
But what happened today is not ok, and is genuinely horrifying.
Prayers to the Kirk family.
So one investigation ended in a week and he was cleared of everything when it involved his personal bank account. He missed zero games.
But these two are being investigated over spiked pitches? And this investigation has dragged on over 2 months affecting the team.
Makes sense!
Sources: Cleveland Guardians right-handers Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase will remain on the restricted list and administrative leave, respectively, through the end of the 2025 season.
Both are being investigated for potential involvement in gambling.
