The Pittsburgh Pirates could soon be required to spend significantly more money on their roster. But thanks to Major League Baseball's latest collective bargaining proposal, owner Bob Nutting might have another year before anyone can force him to do it.
MLB owners submitted a revised salary cap and floor proposal Tuesday that would delay implementation of the system until 2028 rather than 2027. The revised proposal includes a $258.2 million salary cap and a $180.2 million salary floor, both increases from the owners' previous proposal of $245.3 million and $171.2 million, respectively.
Pittsburgh is among 12 organizations that would need to increase spending to meet the proposed floor.
