Daily News | MLB lockout: Players propose changes to arbitration system, but little progress made toward agreement
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- After a meeting Thursday that was over faster than the average inning in a three-hour game, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association don’t appear to be any closer to an agreement that would enable the season to open on time.
On the first point, the players asked for 80% of players with two to three years of major-league service to be eligible for arbitration, a reduction from 100% in their previous proposal but a rise from the 22% who were eligible under the expired collective bargaining agreement. As for the bonus pool, a concept introduced by the union during previous talks to reward entry-level players with more money for high-level performance, the MLBPA proposed a higher overall amount to offset the increase in the number of pre-arbitration players. The pool would be $115 million to 150 players rather than $100 million to 30 players. The owners have proposed a $15 million bonus pool.
The sides remain far apart on most issues. Chief among them is the competitive-balance tax threshold.
