Major League Baseball has reportedly introduced a proposal that would reduce the luxury-tax threshold for teams and also create a salary minimum across the league, according to Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The proposal would force teams to start paying a tax after payroll goes above $180 million, down from the current line $210 million. Anyone over that line would have to pay at least a 25 percent tax, up from 20 percent for current violators.
On the other end of the spectrum, teams would also be forced to keep payroll above $100 million.
