Saving baseball: How to solve the MLB lockout in 6 (mostly) pain-free steps
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred makes comments during a news conference at MLB baseball owners meetings, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022, in Orlando, Fla. Manfred says spring training remains on hold because of a management lockout and his goal is to reach a labor contract that allows opening day as scheduled on March 31. SURPRISE, Ariz. — Well, would you look at that: It seems Major League Baseball decided this week that time was running short to save the season in its entirety.
That is where the sides are at on virtually every element of the negotiations: Finding the midpoint. So, let me cut to the chase for them. But before baseball can be saved, one element is essential and I’m not yet sure the sides get it, so let’s state it clearly here: You walk into the room intent on making a deal, not on winning the negotiation. The major problem is not economics; it’s egos.
Now, about the numbers: Removing the draft and international penalties should spur more teams to flirt with the tax. It’s a gain for the players. They can stand to be a little more lenient on the thresholds: Maybe something like this: $214 million for 2022-23; $225 million for ‘24-25 and topping out at $245 million in 2026. Leave the tax rates flat.Everybody agrees the $570,000 minimum must move upward. And in every CBA, it has.
Start at $30 million and increase it by $5 million annually to eventually get to $55 million. Get this and the minimums bumped significantly and young players will be in far better shape.— Arbitration eligibility:
