The Chicago Cubs roster could hurt the high-priced players–including those making $10 million or more.

The Chicago Cubs and MLB proposal could create an issue with the high-priced payroll the Cubs have. Currently, Jason Heyward, Jon Lester and Yu Darvish were scheduled to make $20 million this year. Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Tyler Chatwood, Anthony Rizzo, Jose Quintana, Kyle Hendricks and Craig Kimbrel are scheduled to make $10 million this year, as well.

Those 10 players will make $5.15M to $2.95M, give or take. So those 10 players will make a quarter of their salaries?
