Jupiter, Fla. — Players have rejected Major League Baseball’s “best and final offer” to end the sport's lockout before the league’s deadline to avoid canceled games.
MLB made its last offer about 90 minutes before a self-imposed 5 p.m. deadline Tuesday. The league has threatened to cancel March 31's opening day without a deal by then.
— MLB proposed raising the luxury tax threshold from $210 million to $220 million in each of the next three seasons, $224 million in 2025 and $230 in 2026 — unchanged from its prior offer.
