MLB players association submits revenue-sharing proposal

The MLB players association submitted a revenue-sharing proposal that keeps the sport's current financial structure while making targeted changes. The plan would increase the amount of shared revenue sent to lower-revenue teams. Those teams would be required to spend the additional funds on their major-league rosters.

The proposal would also direct more total dollars to players under the existing system.

Revenue distribution rules Under the plan, lower-revenue clubs would receive larger transfers from higher-revenue clubs. The funds would have to be used for active-roster payroll rather than other club expenses. The same proposal increases the overall share of league revenue allocated to players while leaving the basic revenue-sharing framework unchanged.
