OverDrive · Griffin on the MLB owners' salary cap proposal, the Blue Jays' season and Guerrero Jr.'s inconsistency · 28 May 2026 podcast

So, you know, he's considered the face of the franchise in the same way that Mona Lisa is the face of the Louvre.

They're the most expensive items going, but nobody knows why they're smiling all the time.

Yeah, they are miles apart, and the preliminary offer from the Players Association, and you'll notice that between now and December 1st, they'll never be called the Players Association by MLB, it'll be the union.

They figure, I was with the Expos before the 94 strike, and we were flown to Chicago to an airport hotel,

and instructed never to call it the association it's a union because they figure americans hate unions and so that'll separate them from from the players but that's not going to work that way it's not that simple the owners definitely want a salary cap and they'll never get it it's the only union sports unions best sports union in north america maybe in the world so they're not going to give that up um

The major league owners are suggesting a luxury tax for the lower spending teams, forcing them to get to a floor, and then they would have the ceiling at about $245 million, which there's eight teams over that right now.

So that's not going to happen.

So those were the opening shots.

The salvo is being fired out.

But it may not be settled until after December 1st.

There may be a lockout.

There was one in 2022.

I was with the Jays at the time.

And it was kind of ugly, but you knew it was going to end.

I'm not so sure about this if there's no salary cap in the works.

because they are fighting for the future.

That's the way they always talk about it.

We've had no salary cap, so we are going to make sure that the future generations don't have a salary cap.

I think there is a way, and it's protecting and changing some of the rules.

There won't be a salary cap.
