The owners have proposed the cap as part of contract talks that have grown contentious. The players union has not yet responded publicly to the president's comments.
Background on the Proposal A hard salary cap would set a fixed upper limit on total team payrolls, preventing higher-spending clubs from exceeding the threshold. Current MLB rules include a luxury tax system rather than a strict cap. The next collective bargaining agreement is scheduled to replace the existing deal, which expires after the 2026 season.
