Episode Notes
Lindsay Crosby breaks down MLB owners’ CBA counterproposal featuring a $245.3M hard salary cap, a $171.2M floor, and a proposed 50/50 revenue split with centralized, pooled media rights. He explains how the high floor affects low-payroll teams, why a cap would require transparency and escrow auditing, and what the offer omits versus the MLBPA’s plan. The MLBPA rejected the cap, warning it harms players and guarantees.
