MLBPA Opposed To Installing Salary Cap After CBA Ends In 2026 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jul 15, 2025 10:32 pm

Calling it \"institutionalized collusion,\" MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark on Tuesday reiterated that he remains vehemently opposed to installing a salary cap after baseball\'s labor deal expires following the 2026 season as owners and commissioner Rob Manfred have increasingly called for changes to the sport\'s economic system to improve competitive balance.

\"A cap is not about any partnership,\" Clark said. \"A cap is not about growing the game. That\'s not what a cap is about. As has been offered publicly, a cap is about franchise values and profits. That\'s what a cap is about.

It's far to late for a cap. The contracts of Soto and Ohtani...you can't put a ceiling on a building that is no longer there.
