MLB ups proposed minimum salary by $10K as deadline nears
JUPITER, Fla. -- In another day of minor moves as the deadline to salvage opening day on March 31 approached, Major League Baseball's only new offer to players Wednesday was to increase the minimum salary by an additional $10,000 a year.
MLB upped its proposed minimum for this year to $640,000, with the figure rising by $10,000 in each additional season of a five-year agreement.
Players have asked for $775,000 in 2022, with $30,000 jumps each season.
There appeared to be little or no movement on the key issue of luxury tax thresholds and rates, or the size of the bonus pool for pre-arbitration players
The sides were still meeting in the early evening, gathered in a small group session.
