MLB Commissioner Discusses Salary Cap and Floor Proposals for 2028
World Sports · 19:29:02 - Sunday, 8 November 2026

Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. addressed proposals for a salary cap and salary floor set to take effect in 2028 during an interview prior to the 95th MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta on July 15, 2025.

The league's potential implementation of both a cap and a floor would represent a significant shift in baseball's economic structure, aiming to create more competitive balance among teams. The discussion comes as part of ongoing labor negotiations between MLB and the players' association.

SB Nation's Demetrius Bell reported on the commissioner's remarks and invited reader feedback on the proposed changes, which would reshape team spending limits beginning with the 2028 season.
