MLB Proposes Shortened Season and Expanded Playoffs in Collective Bargaining Talks

Major League Baseball (MLB) has proposed a new collective bargaining agreement to the MLB Players Association (MLBPA), which includes shortening the regular season to 154 games and expanding the Division Series in the playoffs to a best-of-seven format. The proposal also suggests making Monday a standard off day, with exceptions for nationally televised games and holidays. This proposal is contingent on the players accepting a salary cap, a point of contention in negotiations.
