Giants fans can rejoice after baseball owners and the players union reached an agreement to end a lockout that threatened the upcoming season.
Giants fans may get that look at Joey Bart sooner than we thought. With Thursday’s conclusion to an MLB lockout that fell one day short of an even 100, players are rushing to spring training camps, and the Giants should be playing games within about a week.
•The players wanted to go to salary arbitration after two seasons of MLB experience rather than three. They didn’t get that. They did get a pre-arbitration “bonus pool” for award-winning and highest-rated rookies and second-year players. The pool works out to less than $2 million per team, but the $50 million total is roughly the midpoint of the owners’ and players’ initial asks.
•The owners didn’t want the luxury-tax threshold to rise in any meaningful way. They came pretty close! The first-year threshold for the competitive balance tax is now $230 million, where it was $210 million last season. But over the full five years of the deal, it rises to a maximum of only $244 million. In other words, that ceiling isn’t rising much. Players wanted it boosted because it functions as a virtual hard cap on salaries.
