Major League Baseball has presented a new proposal to the players' union that would delay the implementation of a salary cap system until 2028, as the league faces a potential lockout on December 1.
The offer, reported by Forbes contributor Maury Brown, includes additional changes aimed at reaching a new collective bargaining agreement before the current deal expires.
With the December 1 deadline looming, both sides continue negotiations to avoid a work stoppage that would halt offseason activities and potentially delay the 2027 season.
The salary cap has been a major sticking point in talks, with players historically opposing any cap on spending. The latest proposal pushes the cap's introduction four years beyond the current timeline, offering more time for further discussions.
Details of the other changes were not disclosed, but the move signals MLB's willingness to compromise on timing while maintaining its long-term goal of a cap system.
