[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report]The major league has been closed for 87 days. Whether the regular season can start as scheduled on March 31, U.S. time is still unknown. Concession, but the two sides still did not reach a consensus, the union was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the alliance, the players and the union staff will not rule out withdrawing from the negotiation tomorrow.
Negotiations between the league and the union have reached a deadlock. Even though the meeting was held an hour earlier today and discussions were held for two and a half hours, there was still no significant progress. Players lowered the annual luxury tax standard by $2 million, but there is still a lot of cognition on both sides. Large gap, the league hopes to gradually increase from 214 million to 215 million US dollars in 2023, but the players union hopes that the luxury tax standard next season will be 243 million US dollars, and it will break through the 271 million US dollars mark in 5 years. .
Regarding the salary arbitration seniority, the Players Union originally required that the top 75% of players with two to three years of seniority in the major leagues are eligible to qualify for salary arbitration in advance, but today it has been revised down to 35%, but the league still maintains three years of seniority. The top 22% of the players in the year and the score can obtain the arbitration qualification one year earlier.
The players union also reduced the bonuses for players before wage arbitration from $100 million to $30 million, which is not far from the $20 million that the major leagues proposed a few days ago, but the employer still won’t pay. The two sides only reached a little consensus on the draft order and lottery signing. The players union may withdraw from the meeting tomorrow. It seems that it will be more difficult to reach a labor-management agreement on February 28, US time.
