Title: Possible Salary Change
Post by: EastCoastGonzo on February 12, 2022, 03:18:34 PM: Now that the Salary Cap is set to automatically continue to increase each year it may be time to increase the minimum salary and ARB salary in the league. This is more of an option discussion opposed to a rule change vote. This may be affected by the outcome of MLB's new CBA as well.

Current ARB Salary

Year 1: $500k
Year 2: $550k
Year 3: $600k

New ARB Salary

Year 1: $600k
Year 2: $650k
Year 3: $700k

JMO, if it's worth anything lol

We don't have a static salary cap. Our cap rises 5% each year, which is why we should raise the minimums.
