With free agency already underway, and recognizing that Clubs will need a full offseason to operate within the cap and floor system, MLB is proposing to phase in the salary cap and floor in 2028 The projected cap and floor payrolls for 2028 would make 12 clubs increase payroll by $636M to reach the floor, and 8 clubs to decrease payroll $528M to reach the cap. Overall, this would net a $108M payroll increase Starting in 2028 would allow a smoother transition into the cap and floor system without delaying key player benefits

Orioles’ owners David Rubenstein admits MLB owners are making a ton of money “A lot of my friends were buying teams, and I realized they’re making money. They’re making more money than I’m making in private equity. I thought I should look at it as a financial thing, but ultimately I bought the Orioles for a philanthropic purpose.” (cbssports.com/mlb/news/oriol…)
