MLB Owners, MLBPA Reportedly Set To Begin Labor Negotiations Soon, With Salary Cap At Center Of Talks

With the 2026 MLB season only a month old, both the players and owners are already looking to the future. The league’s collective-bargaining agreement (CBA) expires at the end of the season, and both sides are expected to engage in multiple contentious rounds of negotiation ahead of next season.

In an effort to get ahead of that, the owners and MLBPA will reportedly start meeting in the coming weeks, per The Athletic. At the center of those talks is a salary cap, which the owners are eager to implement.

Baseball has a long history of labor wars, but this rendition could be the wildest yet. The owners, an extraordinarily wealthy group, are planning to push for a salary cap, which players, a number of them quite rich themselves, have long considered a non-starter.

The current CBA won’t expire until 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1. While starting negotiations in May or June could result in a deal ahead of that date, it seems unlikely, per The Athletic. If a deal isn’t reached by that date and time, the owners will likely lock out the players.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Mets Place Luis Robert Jr. On Injured List April 30th, 2026

The Mets have formally placed Robert on the 10-day injured list due to a lumbar disc herniation. Corner infielder Eric Wagaman is up from Triple-A to take his spot on the roster.

Robert is receiving an epidural injection and will be reevaluated in a week to 10 days, per Tim Britton of The Athletic. The Mets don’t currently expect him to miss too much more than the minimum.

Trips to the injured list are nothing new for Robert, a star-caliber outfielder whose health hasn’t allowed him to regularly reach his sky-high ceiling.

The 28-year-old raked at a .264/.314/.542 clip and belted 38 homers to go along with 20 steals and plus-plus defense with the White Sox back in 2023.

He’s only played in 234 of 354 possible games since that time (66.1%).

That 2023 season is the only time Robert has reached even 450 plate appearances or exceeded 110 games played in a single season.

I was dead wrong about Louis Robert Jr, he looked so shiny for a game or two and then….

A’s are in first place. Should they take a screenshot of that or are A’s for real ??

I don't think their pitching will hold up.

Malik Willis first pitch. Should the Dolphins be worried?

Tarik Skubal to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow, manager A.J. Hinch announced. No timetable for return yet.

Well clearly as we all know, this for sure means that Skuball is soft and didn't think about the team and obviously doesn't care about winning. I think it is also somehow the Reds medical teams fault too.
