Major League Baseball is proposing a payroll floor to force teams to spend a minimum on player salaries, turning “flexibility” into mandatory investment. For the Mariners, this could reshape their roster strategy as big contracts expire — potentially turning salary dumps into required upgrades. While the union pushes for revenue sharing and a tax on under-spending teams, the goal is clear: ensure every team competes, not just the richest. This isn’t about limiting spending — it’s about making sure teams spend something meaningful to stay competitive.
