"It feels almost quaint that a year ago, the Dodgers signing Tanner Scott seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back. I ran a poll around that time, asking, "Do you want a salary cap in the next MLB CBA?" 36,589 people responded, and two-thirds said yes. It was later pointed out to me that I should have made clear that a cap comes with a floor."
"If I had phrased it as "a salary cap and floor," the number may have been even higher than 67.2%. I also think that if I run the poll again in the coming weeks, an even higher percentage will vote for a cap, since the last year has seen the Dodgers win a second consecutive World Series and then add Edwin Diaz and Tucker."
Kyle Tucker reached an agreement with the Dodgers, prompting renewed debate about implementing a salary cap and floor in the next MLB CBA. A poll of 36,589 respondents showed about 67.2% favor a salary cap, and 27,629 answered a follow-up about sacrificing the entire 2027 season, with 50.18% saying yes. The Dodgers' recent World Series win and additions such as Edwin Diaz and Tucker are cited as drivers of increased support for a cap. Ownership plans to push for a cap in negotiations, while some agents and executives view a cap or lost season as unlikely.
