As part of the proposal, the union increased the proposed bonus pool for pre-arbitration players from $100 million to $115 million. The union also expanded proposed eligibility for the bonus pool from 30 players to 150. The union told MLB it was prepared to meet every day next week. They have major differences on revenue-sharing and how to address players’ allegations of service time manipulation. MLB said it remains opposed to any increase in salary arbitration eligibility or reduction in revenue sharing.
