Braves News: Salary cap proposal, Rolddy Muñoz review, and more
Atlanta Braves news and notes from Tuesday.
Baseball's Major League Baseball (MLB) has introduced a new proposal that includes the implementation of a salary cap/floor system, set to take effect in 2028. However, the Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) has swiftly rejected this proposal via a social media statement. This new measure is expected to be a significant topic of debate as MLB and the union gear up for negotiations in the run-up to the expiration of the current collective bargaining agreement.
Our ongoing 2026 player review series continues, focusing on right-hander Rolddy Muñoz. As for free agent activity, the question is whether we can expect a significant influx of talent before the lockout. In other news, the Tampa Bay Rays have undergone a medical procedure on right-hander Edwin Uceta's shoulder. The surgery, arthroscopic in nature, is expected to sideline him for the initial couple of months of the 2027 season.

As for shortstops, there's a question on the minds of many: which of these players would best fit the 2027 Braves roster?
