MlB's labor and management sides are still unable to reach an agreement before the second negotiation deadline (or the third), and MLB has canceled the first two series, and the rest of the matches are likely to continue to be cancelled.
Several key issues appear to have progressed, with the coalition proposing a minimum wage starting at $700,000, rising to $740,000 in the final year of the expiration of the collective bargain in 2026, and a labor proposal from $725,000 to $765,000.
On the most critical luxury tax line, the labor side bites the proposal from $238 million, which is rising by about 6 million per year, and the management side wants to increase from $228 million to about 2 million a year, with additional conditions. In the past decade, the luxury tax line has risen very slowly, which is also the reason for the collapse of the negotiations between labor and management, and to be honest, the management should have a large concession.
The second is the "Anti-Tank Act", the league side insists on a conditional record after the eight teams participate in the lottery draw of the first draw, and the top five picks will be selected in the form of a lottery. Labor's plan is that teams that do not make the playoffs can go to the draw, and the first six picks will be determined by the lottery. Both sides have some additional proposals, and the small proposals seem irrelevant in the absence of a large framework.
The new proposal - child labor player prize pool is also a chicken feather, the total amount of the prize pool proposed by the labor side at the beginning is as high as 105 million, and then it has risen to 115 million, and now it has dropped to 80 million, which has been repeatedly jumping, and the total price of the capital to repay the total price of $10 million has risen to 30 million, but there is still a big gap.
In the playoffs, Labor only agrees to the 12-team playoff system, but it is reported that if the wild card wheel can send seeded teams one game, Labor may agree to the 14-team plan.
All that remains are proposals that seem relatively easy to talk about, but most of which don't seem to be resolved either. The management wants to open an international draft system, but the labor side does not agree. Management wants to sell helmet ads, but labor has not yet responded. Previously, MLB signed a big-name free agent (with a qualified offer on his body) will have to pay the price of draft picks, this time the management side proposed that the team that lost the player can still get the draft right, but the player's new owner is no better than losing the draft right.
Among these proposals, it seems that only one proposal is agreed by both sides, that is, the League of Nations also implements a system of crackdowns. The one Zach Grange knocked out as a pitcher in Game 3 of the World Series may really be the last pitcher in MLB history.
Interestingly, former league president Rob Manfred said that the two series that have been cancelled will certainly not be made up, but many people on the players' union side have said that they will still seek a 162-game regular season season, and Manfred's position is greatly threatened.
