MLBPA Proposes Landmark CBA Plan Targeting Pay Growth, Arbitration Changes, and Revenue Sharing

The MLB Players Association formally released its first detailed CBA proposal, pushing for a higher minimum salary ($1.5M from $780K), vastly expanded pre-arbitration pool ($180M from $50M), a higher Super Two cutoff (44% from 22%), a $3M minimum arbitration tender, and a shortened path to free agency for players 30 and older (potentially a sixth year if the contract aligns with the top 125 salaries). The package signals pro-player gains and revenue-sharing reforms without a salary cap, with the league expected to counter the next day.

Opening Salvo in 2026 MLB CBA Talks: Basics Only

MLB and the MLB Players Association opened the 2026 collective bargaining talks in New York with a preliminary session that outlined each side’s positions; formal proposals will come later. With the current CBA expiring December 1, 2026, negotiations could become contentious given past lockouts and ongoing debates over a league salary cap and floor, revenue sharing, and how to balance big- and small-market clubs, even as the sport enjoys rising popularity and looming broadcast deals.

AGI Clause Dies as OpenAI-Microsoft Deal Goes Non-Exclusive and Cloud-Flexible

Microsoft and OpenAI have dropped the contract’s AGI clause, ending the exclusive, perpetual revenue-sharing tied to AGI. OpenAI can now sell its products on any cloud provider, a move that could help it court more enterprise customers ahead of a possible public listing, while Microsoft’s revenue from outside agreements continues. The revenue-share will now run only through 2030 with a cap, signaling a broader, less exclusive partnership and OpenAI’s push toward multi-cloud growth.

X Reforms Payouts Toward Original Content, Slashing Aggregator Rewards

X will overhaul its creator-revenue sharing to reward original content and reduce payouts for aggregation accounts, cutting aggregation payouts 40% in the current cycle with a planned 20% further cut. The change aims to curb manipulation and boost new author growth, acknowledging reposts still have a role but promising deductions for posts that are reposts or sourced from third-party networks. Critics warn the move could hinder content spread, while supporters argue it encourages higher-quality, original posts.

NFL Antitrust Shakeup Could Rewrite How Games Are Sold and Who Benefits

A Florio column warns that weakening or removing the NFL’s antitrust exemption could force changes to how game rights are sold (potentially ending the current broadcast bundle), create large gaps in team profitability, disrupt the salary-cap system, and even drive a split into rival leagues or relegation-like outcomes. It draws a parallel to ongoing college-football upheaval, but suggests the NFL’s chaos could be harder to fix and may require federal intervention.

WNBA Players Forge a Revenue-Share CBA, Seizing League Control

After 100+ hours of talks over eight days, the WNBA and WNBPA reached a seven-year CBA with players receiving a 20% gross-revenue share, a starting team salary cap of $7 million (rising with revenue), a $1.4 million supermax, and a $300,000 minimum salary. The deal reduces the need for players to seek overseas income, increases league financial transparency, and marks a major power shift toward players while boosting potential average salaries and overall professional standards in the league.

WNBA Players Reach Verbal Accord on Transformational CBA with Big Pay Hikes

The WNBA and the league's players' union have reached a verbal agreement on a new CBA, featuring max salaries over $1 million, minimum salaries above $300,000, and a starting team salary cap of $7.5 million. The deal would give players an average of nearly 20% of gross revenue over the life of the contract and signals a major shift from the old framework (the 2026 cap would have been about $1.55 million). It also advances benefits on facilities, housing, retirement, and expanded family planning. The agreement still requires formal details via a term sheet and ratification by players.

WNBA, WNBPA Reach In-Principle CBA, Paving Path to Higher Pay and 2026 Season

After 17 months of negotiations, the WNBA and WNBPA reached an in-principle CBA on March 18; a term sheet will be signed, then players vote and a board ratification follows. The deal reportedly would set a roughly $7 million salary cap, about a 20% average revenue share for players, and salaries rising to about $600k on average (supermax ~ $1.4M), with housing and other benefits improved. The 2026 season is slated to start May 8 (camp begins April 19), and an expansion draft will be held for Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo under the new terms.

WNBA players reach in-principle CBA, signaling a pay surge

The WNBA and its players’ union have reached an in-principle agreement on a transformational new collective bargaining agreement, with a formal term sheet to be finalized soon and votes by players and the Board of Governors pending. The deal would dramatically raise pay—salaries fourfold, average compensation over $500,000, and a path to seven-figure salaries for some players—by tying salaries to league revenue. Key outstanding issues include revenue sharing, housing, and franchise-tag rules. Training camps begin April 19, with opening day May 8, and an expansion draft for Toronto and Portland on the horizon.

Six days of marathon talks in Manhattan have failed to produce a deal between the WNBA and the WNBPA, with revenue sharing and housing the main sticking points as commissioner Cathy Engelbert pushes for a deal by Monday to keep the 2026 season on track; housing provisions and revenue splits remain unresolved, and training camp remains on the schedule only if a CBA is signed.

WNBA CBA talks hinge on money and housing, says union president

Union president Nneka Ogwumike says revenue sharing and team-funded housing are the two biggest remaining hurdles in WNBA CBA talks. Negotiations continue into a fifth day as both sides push to finalize terms ahead of a May 8 season start. The union has sought gross revenue share (with talks down from an initial 40% to the mid-20s), while the league has proposed staying with net revenue and gradually phasing housing payments. If resolved, the season could proceed on time; Commissioner Engelbert says a deal by Monday is crucial to avoid disruptions, with preseason games and other league activities already on the calendar.
