Official CBA Negotiation Thread

Current MLB offers for CBTT and minimum salary:

2022: $230MM, $700K
2023: $232MM, $715K
2024: $236MM, $730K
2025: $240MM, $750K
2026: $242MM, $770K

As well as a $40M pre arb bonus pool that counts towards each teams luxury tax number.

Players will get paid for 162 games, which means expanded playoffs will happen this year.

This is starting to get very close to what the players were asking for, so maybe they will finish this off soon.

Owners are finally making some concessions, but it's only marginally. Players have moved quite a bit. Of course the caveat there is the players also started really high so there was a lot of room to move. A good compromise would seem for the owners to raise the CBT for 2022 and the players moving down from the 263 figure by the end of the deal. Maybe something like 232 million in 2022 and 245 million by the end of the deal.

Up to 230 and 242

Pretty close!
 
It would make the draft a lot more interesting as of now. Probably extend it further into more rounds though... probably by a wide margin.
 
They should really reduce the age of what can be considered an international professional. That whole system is terrible for international players. It's especially bad for Japanese players like Yu Darvish who could have signed a big contract around age 20-21 if he were eligible.
 
The MLBPA has a long and storied track record of throwing amateurs and MiLB players under the bus during negotiations. I would be shocked if the international draft stops this deal from being completed.

I think the biggest reason they would hesitate now is if they could get the deal done without it and then have it as a chip next time the CBA expires.

How exactly does the MLBPA have the authority to bargain for people not in the union? Could the international players and/or the armatures form a union?

Ridiculous these minor league guys can't make a reasonable wage to work on their game 24/7. Nobody is saying they should be rich, but they provide value. Even the guys that are not going to be MLB players help shape the guys that do. I'd like to see those guys make 40K a year so they can focus on baseball.
 
Rosenthal: International draft “non-starter” for Latin players and might not be acceptable to union even with major MLB give, sources tell @TheAthletic. Union in latest proposal still wants qualifying offer eliminated, as well as higher CBT thresholds and pre-arb pool than MLB has offered.
 
Welp, see you guys next week when we can get optimistic again and then get let down soon after.

MLBPA not making any legit concessions is annoying.
