Statement from Major League Baseball Players Association

NEW YORK, October 8 -- The league made multiple scheduling proposals today. We are reviewing these materials, including the proposed changes to the playoff format.  Players will weigh in on these proposalsand we will respond at the bargaining table. Unfortunately, the league once again made clear that all of its proposals are contingent on players’ agreement to a salary cap, a system that guts player rights and compensation, as well as its other anti-player proposals.
