Carlos Rodón of the New York Yankees says players are ready for a long lockout if MLB owners push for a salary cap. The current labor contract ends Dec. 1, and an expected lockout would halt trades and free-agent signings. MLB argues a cap is needed to reduce economic disparity, but players disagree, citing successful low-payroll teams like Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. MLB’s proposal includes a cap on team spending and a revenue split, but players say the details would reduce their earnings.

This would be MLB's 10th work stoppage. No regular-season games have been lost since 1994-95.
