Eat shite. They’ve been doing pretty well once it didn’t matter anymore.

Does the budget expenditures for trash cans count against the cap?

They are pitting the 12 against the 8.. they’ve set the celling at 250… smart starting point IMO..

75% of the player should not be affected by this hell they will make more in the smaller markets.
The 25% are going to get crushed but they are union and the union is a majority system
The mets have 3 players that eat exactly 1/2 of the supposed cap????

Would teams have to reduce their payrolls for the 2027 season? How does that work for a team that has multiple guys under long-term deals?
I would think they’d grandfather them in as contracts expire and limit new signing costs until reach cap window. Lots of way it could be done.

they are predictably starting low on the cap knowing full well they will have to eventually go up significantly - and that will make it appear as though they are going above and beyond to compromise.

Kinda insane that teams that spend $60 million are actually supposed to try to compete with teams spending $300 million.
College football is turning itself into MLB, following the worst performing league in modern times.

It ain’t what you spend but how you spend it.
But what revenue is generated from either of those teams? Thats the final judgment. Win games all you want, but if nobody pays to go to the games, buys your merchandise, etc. Then what does it matter?
The Dallas Cowboys are the only NFC team that hasnt gone to the NFC championship since 2010 yet they're, by far, the most financially successful.
Does this model bring in more overall revenue? Can the game of baseball expand beyond where it is now?

You could ease into a cap… current contracts don’t have to count against it

Everyone pisses and moans about the Dodgers buying championships. Not counting current contracts against the cap would only exacerbate that issue.

Seems a little high considering the NBA's floor is $148M this season. I would have assumed somewhere around $150M.

I agree with you 100%. However, can you legally force a player to take a reduction in pay from a previous signed contract?
Posted on 9/16/26 at 11:15 am to cgrand
Actually they don't that's why I used them.
NBA 2025 revenue: 14bn
MLB 2025 revenue: 13bn
NBA 2025 revenue: 14bn
MLB 2025 revenue: 13bn

NBA Revenue: ~US $14 billion (positioning it as the world's second-richest sports league behind the NFL).
MLB Revenue: ~US $12 to $13 billion (historically comparable, though recent estimates place total league-wide figures just behind or neck-and-neck with the NBA)

This is a very fair deal from the MLB, but the players are obviously going to reject this just based off of principal alone. No one ever accepts first offers.

They'd have to be traded, like what you see in the NFL/NBA with bad contracts
Posted on 9/16/26 at 11:30 am to SlowFlowPro
That doesn't address players with 10/5 or no trade clauses
Existing contracts will stay in place and will either impact teams going forward with new contracts, or there will be easing, or there will be an NBA style soft cap

I can see this happening, with spenders paying the tax still while teams at the floor collect revenue sharing.
