"As the baseball industry braces for the potential of another lockout after the 2026 season, Major League Baseball and the Players Association recently held a meeting to discuss the sport's labor issues, according to people briefed on the discussion but not authorized to speak publicly. Lead negotiators Dan Halem for MLB and Bruce Meyer for the MLBPA both participated, the source told The Athletic."
"With the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) set to expire on Dec. 1, 2026, MLB and the Players Association (MLBPA) have indicated they are far apart on several core issues. Chief among them is the potential implementation of a salary cap, which the players remain strongly against. If this ends up being a sticking point for team owners, MLB could face its longest work stoppage since the 1994-1995 strike, which lasted 232 days."
Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1, 2026, and negotiations between MLB and the Players Association are reportedly far apart. The owners' potential push for a salary cap stands as the chief sticking point, and players remain strongly opposed. If the salary-cap dispute persists, MLB could face a lockout after 2026, potentially the longest stoppage since the 1994-1995 strike. Lead negotiators Dan Halem and Bruce Meyer recently met to address labor issues, though formal CBA negotiations are not expected until spring. MLBPA director Tony Clark warned a cap would do more harm than good.
