MLB proposes shorter season in push for salary cap
Original: Major League Baseball proposes shortening its regular season as it pushes for a salary cap
Major League Baseball has proposed shortening its regular season as part of a broader push to introduce a salary cap. The proposal ties a reduced schedule to the league's cost-control goals, a long-standing priority that has previously been a major sticking point with the players' union. A shorter season combined with a cap would reshape the league's economics and could set up another round of contentious labor negotiations with players.
Why now: A salary cap has long been baseball's most divisive labor issue, and any new proposal signals potential conflict with the players' union.
