American MLB pitcher for the Washington Nationals
Leagues and players are negotiating changes to the amateur and international drafts and the salary framework. Proposals include reducing rounds, raising age thresholds, and introducing hard signing pools. The talks have intensified as a potential lockout looms beyond 2026.
MLB has suspended Cade Cavalli and Willson Contreras for seven games each after a benches-clearing incident in Boston. Miles Mikolas and Nate Eaton are also suspended, with other penalties and fines issued. Cavalli has apologized for his “sit down, boy” remark, acknowledging the racist history of the term. The incident followed a tense exchange after Contreras hit a homer and taunt on Monday.
