"The players remain strongly against an MLB salary cap as it would limit their potential earnings, while the league believes implementing one is necessary to improve competitive balance across the sport. As it currently stands, MLB is the only major North American professional sports league without a salary cap. The NFL, NBA and NHL all use one with their own variations and intricacies."
""You know what? I'm all right with that. I think the NBA has done a nice job of revenue sharing with the players and the owners. But if you're going to kind of suppress spending at the top, I think that you got to raise the floor to make those bottom-feeders spend money, too." The NBA salary cap is determined annually based on a percentage of the league's revenue and designed to ensure competitive balance by limiting total player payroll spending."
MLB and the Players Association are sharply divided over a proposed salary cap ahead of CBA negotiations. Players oppose a cap because it would limit earnings, while the league argues a cap is needed to improve competitive balance. MLB remains the only major North American league without a salary cap; the NFL, NBA and NHL use caps with different systems. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised the NBA model, citing revenue sharing, a salary floor and a soft cap with tax penalties for overspending. MLBPA leader Tony Clark rejected cap proposals, and Commissioner Rob Manfred prioritizes avoiding lost games from a potential work stoppage.
