With just over an hour to go before their self-imposed 5:00 p.m. deadline, the owners submitted their “best, final offer” for consideration by the union. This coming after an extension of the previous February 28th deadline and a marathon bargaining session that stretched into the wee hours of yesterday morning — one which appeared to signal traction toward a new deal (something we now know to be untrue).
The MLBPA's previous offer:
- CBT thresholds at 238/244/250/256/263
- Pre-arb bonus pool at $85M with $5M annual increases
- Minimums at $725K going up $20K a year— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 1, 2022Unsurprisingly, the players unanimously decided to reject the proposal.
