The MLBPA offered their first list of "wants" to the owners.
These include:
A "competitive-integrity tax" for any team that does not spend $150M
Increase minimum salary from $780,000 to $1.5M
Increased revenue sharing that initially guarantees every small market club a minimum of $240M in revenue every season
Expanded draft lottery to further deincentivize tanking
Expansion of salary arbitration eligibility
Increased benefits for lower revenue Clubs who lose players to free agency
Penalties for Clubs that neglect to spend revenue sharing payments on team payroll
The playoff format HAS to change, though. As jersey said, getting to cupcake your way to the playoffs and then get to cupcake your way through the first two rounds (because you mostly play your cupcake division) is a lot of BS
