Major League Baseball potential lockout

Overview

Major League Baseball is facing a potential lockout following the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement on December 1. Owners are reportedly seeking a hard salary cap and floor system to address spending disparities between high- and low-budget teams.

As the possibility of a work stoppage grows, the league has issued memos to teams outlining procedures for personnel. A lockout would freeze various offseason activities, such as the Rule 5 draft, and would likely prohibit team personnel from interacting with players on 40-man rosters regarding professional matters. While the offseason calendar will initially proceed under existing rules—including the filing of free agency—formal signings cannot occur until a new agreement is reached.
