Official CBA Negotiation Thread

[bravesfanforlife88]

Figured we are close enough now to go ahead and start a thread with the CBA negotiations starting to go back and forth.

The owners made a proposal to put a salary floor at $100m with a $180m max. Teams going over the $180m would be taxed 25% and it goes up from there based on how far over the team goes.

Word also came out today that the owners are also proposing a change in service time/arbitration. Basically players are made eligible for free agency once they reach 29.5 years of age. There is also a $1 billion pool that would be dispersed in an unspecified manner to replace the current arbitration system.
