The Los Angeles Angels are heading into 2017 with high hopes of being a playoff team. However, Major League Baseball is in danger of having a lockout. The players union and the league owners must come to terms by the December 1st deadline or the MLB will come to a halt.
While there is a fair share of issues at hand that could prevent a lockout, implementing a salary cap and a luxury tax could cause the MLBPA to strike. There are some other issues at hand; however, the MLBPA is the best players association in all of sport’s, hence no salary cap.
