Fans and players are bracing for a potential lockout as Major League Baseball's latest proposal to delay the salary cap and floor until the 2028 season has been swiftly rejected by the MLBPA. The proposed delay would impact players' earning potential, with the current cap set to expire at the end of the 2027 season. The evidence behind the proposal is rooted in MLB's desire to adjust the cap totals, as reported by Baseball America. The Boston Globe and Forbes have provided details on the proposal, citing the potential delay as a key factor in the MLBPA's rejection. The outcome of this labor battle remains uncertain, with the possibility of a lockout looming large. Will there be a resolution before the 2028 season begins, or will the dispute continue to simmer?
