Rob Manfred on possibly cancelling 2027 MLB season
Billionaire MLB owners are seeking to increase profits and reduce the percentage of revenue that goes to players through a salary cap.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire at the end of the year, creating a possibility that owners lock the players out on December 1.
Rob Manfred said the league's goal is to make a deal and that they want to play and are planning on playing baseball the following year.
