I've seen a lot of discussion about the current MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement in other threads . But every discussion starts with a question or misinterpretation of the CBA . So I'm starting this thread in hope of good discussion and maybe shed some light on a some gray area on this topic. www.mlbplayers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=34000&ATCLID=211078089Thanks. The discussion of the Competitive Balance Tax starts on p. 107 Let's see if I can get this right: The Base Tax Threshold for 2018 = $197M; the two surcharge thresholds start at 20M and 40M above that or $237M For a Club that has an Actual Club Payroll above the Base Tax Threshold in any Contract Year, the applicable Competitive Balance Tax rate shall be: (i) 20% if the Club did not exceed the Base Tax Threshold in the preceding Contract Year (“First-Time CBT Payor”); Beginning in the 2018 Contract Year and continuing thereafter, any Club with an Actual Club Payroll at or above the applicable Second Surcharge Threshold in that Contract Year shall have its highest available selection in the next Rule 4 Draft moved back ten places in the Draft order. The chart on p. 110 says we would pay an additional 20% tax on anything over 197, 32% on anything over 217, and 62.5% tax on any money over 237. These all go up steeply if we are over in 2019 as well (because we will have been over in 2018).
