THREE STRIKES, EVERYBODY’S

OUT: MLB LOCKOUT, 2027

ABOUT THE COMMITTEE

As the 2026 MLB postseason comes to an end, there is a sense of bittersweetness in the air. Many fans, players, and media look towards the upcoming offseason with a sense of dread. The owners and players, who last signed a collective bargaining agreement in 2022, have been embroiled in a PR war for the past year and half. Many owners are arguing for a salary cap to ensure parity, while the players argue that the owners are greedy and looking for a way to limit player salaries. Fans still remember the strike of 1994, which scarred many and halted the growth of the sport. In this crisis committee, delegates will have the face the many issues this cycle presents and save the sport of baseball.
BACKGROUND GUIDE COMING SOON!
