## Key points

- Taillon criticised MLB’s presentation of proposed changes.
- A salary cap is a central point of disagreement.
- The champion Brewers ranked 19th in payroll.

## Summary

Blue Jays pitcher Jameson Taillon criticised MLB for presenting its proposed changes ahead of collective bargaining negotiations in a way he called “selective”. He said the league was seeking public support before a possible lockout and argued its aim was to reduce player salaries, a dispute that could make negotiations contentious.

MLB executive Morgan Sword outlined three proposed changes in a video the league described as “a win for everybody”; the article does not specify what they are. The players’ union and agents have objected to the league’s push for a salary cap, with agent Joel Wolfe saying players would oppose one. MLB has no salary cap or floor, and the champion Brewers had the 19th-highest payroll.
