MLB owners are reportedly proposing a $245.3 million salary cap AND a $171.2 million payroll floor starting in 2027. A cap would be a massive change for baseball, but that payroll floor might be just as interesting. This next CBA fight could get ugly.

No there will not be.

Best case scenario will probably be a lockout like in 2022 that took out some of spring training but I fear it will be a lot worse than what happened in 2022. It doesn't sound good right now. I would probably recommend to any baseball fans to start getting into minor league ball and Indy ball to get their baseball fix in case MLB loses a big chunk or all of the 2027 season. Apart from affiliated ball the Pioneer League, American Association, Pecos League etc. can be fun to follow and watch if you have teams nearby.

There will 100% be a lockout. I highly doubt the cap will happen, but the floor will definitely happen. "If" there is a cap, it will be much higher than proposed or there will be levels, similar to NBA (MLE, Luxury Tax, etc).
