That was the big takeaway from the latest bargaining session between the league and representatives from the MLB Players’ Association. Their offer for the competitive tax balance threshold, which most teams treat as a salary cap, held steady at $214 million (U.S.). To date, the owners’ proposal has only been a $4-million increase over the $210 million from 2021. The MLBPA reportedly informed the league that it would respond to the latest proposal without committing to a specific date. If the goal was to move this process forward, that clearly failed, with one union source telling MLB Network’s Jon Heyman that it was “disappointed” by the latest proposal.
