The average had dropped in each of the previous four seasons before 2022, sparking player anger that was expressed by the union.
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball's average salary rose 14.8% to a record $4.22 million last year after the end of the lockout, boosted by big deals for Max Scherzer, Francisco Lindor, Marcus Semien and Corey Seager.
The average had dropped in each of the previous four seasons before 2022, sparking player anger that was expressed by the union during a 99-day lockout that ended last March. Some owners are arguing for significant change to lessen payroll disparity when the current labor contract expires after the 2026 season, and MLB this month established another committee to examine economics.
"We're never going to agree to a cap. Let me start there. We don't have a cap, we're not going to agree to a cap," Clark added."A salary cap is the ultimate restriction on player value and player salary. We believe in a market system. The market system has served our players, our teams and our game very well.""The product on the field does well, fans come to the ballpark. Fans come to the ballpark, local revenue increase in all facets.
