MLB and the players' union remain far apart on a salary cap as the CBA expires Dec. 1.
Owners are expected to impose a lockout that would halt signings, trades and team-player communication if no new deal is reached. MLB's latest proposal is a $258.2 million salary cap and $180.2 million floor beginning in 2028, and the union firmly opposes any cap. MLB identified the Phillies as one of eight clubs that would have exceeded that cap. The Phillies could operate under the existing luxury-tax system in 2027.
