MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is optimistic that a new collective bargaining agreement will be reached before the current one expires on Dec. 1, 2023, to avoid a work stoppage. Regular meetings with the players’ union are ongoing, focusing on key issues like salary cap proposals, minimum salary increases, and the pre-arbitration bonus pool. Other contentious topics include the international draft, television revenue, and service time. The last significant labor disruption occurred during the 2021-22 offseason, leading to a 99-day lockout.
