The MLB Players’ Association is ready to respond to owners’ latest proposal, the Associated Press reports.
Players were reportedly unimpressed with the 130-page proposal, which included a 10% rise in minimum salary and a universal designated hitter, among other details.
MLB, which made the last proposal Saturday, is offering a 10% rise in minimum salary to $630K, no compensation lost for signing free agents and a universal DH. However, the 2% rise to $214M in luxury tax threshold and steeper penalties proposed are unpalatable for players union.
