all that animosity in setting up the 2020 season about to blow up in everyone's faces.

MLB work stoppage almost certain on Dec. 2

Baseball's ninth work stoppage and first in 26 years appears almost certain to start Dec. 2, freezing the free-agent market and threatening the start of spring training in February.

Teams have proposed eliminating salary arbitration and allowing players to become free agents in the offseason after they turn 29½ rather than the six seasons of major league service in place since 1976. They have proposed a lower luxury tax threshold along with a payroll floor. Players have refused for decades to consider a payroll floor, feeling it would lead to a salary cap.

Concerned with "tanking" by rebuilding teams and a slide in spending on major league payrolls, players want changes in the current deal, which calls for payrolls to be taxed above $210 million (using average annual values plus benefits) and includes surtaxes that went into place for 2017. Management's proposal called for the threshold to be dropped to $180 million, another factor that may gridlock many free-agent negotiations.

wouldn't a payroll floor make for better salaries for the lower end players? what am I missing.
