Summary
Players’ union drops bold new proposal in CBA talks: a “competitive-integrity tax” on teams spending under $150M, plus nearly doubling the minimum salary to $1.5M — a massive leap for rookies and a financial jolt for cash-strapped teams like the Rockies, who’d see over $11M added to payroll. They’re also raising the luxury tax threshold, which could deepen the gap between big and small markets. This isn’t just about money — it’s about forcing owners to reinvest revenue sharing into their teams, turning the Rockies’ penny-pinching into a costly lesson. The real battle’s just beginning.
