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.

Phillies should pursue Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, the 2022 World Series MVP, one columnist argues.
Peña hit .400 against Philadelphia in the 2022 World Series and became the first rookie position player to win Series MVP. The column says he hits fastballs, runs well, bats right-handed and has mostly led off for Houston over the last two seasons. The Phillies' long-term shortstop plan is no longer certain, and the 29-year-old Peña's future is uncertain, though the column notes there is no indication Houston has made him available. The column frames Peña as a fit for the speed, contact and pressure style that carried Milwaukee and Tampa Bay to the World Series.

The labor agreement expires at the end of the year, and owners are expected to lock out players, which would halt signings and trades. Owners want a salary cap, while players say they will not accept one.
