Major League Baseball is facing a potential lockout on December 1 as negotiations with the players' association continue. In its latest proposal, the league has offered to delay the introduction of a salary cap system until 2028, along with other modifications to the collective bargaining framework.

The move comes as both sides work to avoid a work stoppage that would disrupt the upcoming season. Details of the additional changes were not disclosed, but the extended timeline for a salary cap represents a significant shift from earlier proposals that sought earlier implementation.
