MLBPA Opens CBA Talks With Sweeping Player-Friendly Proposal

The union's first formal offer targets a near-doubling of the minimum salary and restructured revenue sharing; MLB is set to counter tomorrow.

The MLBPA submitted its opening CBA proposal, marking the formal start of collective bargaining negotiations. The union is pushing to raise the minimum salary from $780K to $1.5MM, with escalating increases up to $2.2MM over subsequent seasons. Revenue sharing reform is a central focus, with players seeking to address economic imbalances across the league without agreeing to a salary cap. MLB is expected to respond with its own counter-proposal the following day.
