MLB proposes to delay salary cap until 2028 season

What the coverage says
Major League Baseball has proposed postponing the implementation of a salary cap and floor until the 2028 season as current collective bargaining agreement negotiations continue ahead of a looming December expiration and potential work stoppage. Yahoo Sports notes that the latest pitch diverges significantly from the league's initial offer and would require certain franchises to reduce their payroll spending. CBS Sports adds that the pushed-back timeline is intended to provide clubs with a period of preparation and a "smoother transition." Meanwhile, Yahoo Sports reports that the Major League Baseball Players Association has responded critically to the offer, characterizing it as "blowing up the current system."
