Brewers Owner Joins Push for MLB Salary Cap and Floor
The long-tenured Brewers owner offered vigorous support of a salary cap.
MILWAUKEE — Brewers owner Mark Attanasio has joined other MLB club owners in advocating for a hard salary cap and floor system, joining the chorus of support from Yankees GM Hal Steinbrenner and White Sox minority owner Mat Ishbia. Attanasio, who has been pushing for this change for 22 years, stated that the proposed revenue-sharing system would help the Brewers and other teams with lower payrolls compete.
This comes as MLB owners and players remain at odds in labor negotiations, with the MLBPA strongly opposing many of the proposed changes, particularly the salary cap. The Brewers, despite their small media market, have consistently performed well in the postseason and attendance, ranking 19th in the league in luxury-tax payrolls.
Attanasio credits the team's success to fan, sponsorship, and community support, but acknowledges that continued success may require large-scale changes.
