Garrett Stubbs, the Phillies @MLBPA team rep, today said on the risk of missing games while the sport is thriving
βItβs super unfortunate to be going into these meetings every single time and hearing from the other side that [a cap] is their solution.
I see some games getting missed because of where they stand on this salary cap idea.
I think it would be moronic to not have a season or miss a substantial amount of games because of the [health] of where weβre at as a league.
I donβt think that baseball has been in a better position than it is right now.β

The coming labor Armageddon is much more about the ownersβ desire to raise their franchise values than it is about competitive balance, per @Ken_Rosenthal

You are a legitimately dumb person if you believe the league wants a salary cap and floor setup because of fan surveys. Just an all time mark.
MLB owners do not intend to pivot from their insistence on a salary cap and floor no matter who wins the World Series, via @JeffPassan.
Their stance is βbackedβ by surveys that show fans want one.

This is the entire story. Everything else is byzantine collective bargaining esoterica

They want a salary cap system so they can codify the decoupling of their own teamβs financial success from its performance
It does not function perfectly, but right now if you win more, you make more. They donβt want to have to win more to make more. They just want it guaranteed

To understand the current posture and contradictions of the ownership side, you have to understand that literally no βsmall marketβ owner opposes Dodgers spending. The more the Dodgers spend + make, the more money that gets stuffed in Mark Attanasioβs pocket
Major League Baseball wants a salary cap and says it's to ensure smaller-market, lower-payroll teams can win in the postseason.
Milwaukee, Cleveland and Tampa Bay are winning without one.

Arte Moreno purchased the Angels for $183.5 million in 2003. He sold the team for more than $3.9 billion in 2026
A team that's been a laughing stock for the past decade generated a 2000% return in 23 years. Team valuations continue to soar while owners keep crying poverty
Dejan would know a thing or two about paying workers dogshit and claiming itβs for the best of the public interest.

The last two decades have seen a complete inversion of MLBβs incentive structure. Itβs now more profitable for most teams to lose and pocket revenue sharing, than push their chips in and try to win.
We investigated how this happened with our friends @MorePerfectUS

They are going to enshittify every single aspect of baseball β through gambling, private equity, AI slop, and god only knows what else β until there is nothing left. And you want to kneecap the players union, the only thing standing between them and total control over MLB

Theyβre selling the game to private equity right out from underneath you β just like they did with everything else in your life β and you still want to give them the salary cap they want

If you are against Flock cameras but okay with Ring cameras you arenβt actually against the surveillance state but rather are just caught up in social media trends.

Oh I get it they're using a series of financial schemes to break the back of the strongest union in the United States and destroy a sport that's nearly two centuries old for the foreseeable future, good one

Baseball owners want a salary cap because rich people just wanna be more rich. Suppressing wages is the oldest trick in the book. If it was about βcompetitive balance,β why do they not even try now? Why do they pocket revenue sharing money? Itβs wild to me that ppl canβt see it.
