Major League Baseball owners made their long-expected salary cap proposal to the players’ association on Thursday, a system the union has vowed never to accept, setting the sides on course for a confrontation that threatens the 2027 season and perhaps beyond.Baseball owners hadn’t proposed a firm cap since 1994. Their effort prompted a 7 1/2-month strike that forced the cancellation of the World Series for the first time in 90 years.MLB’s proposal would cap spending in 2027 at $245.3 million, using figures for luxury tax payrolls that include $20.1 million for benefits and the pre-arbitration bonus pool, and establish a payroll floor of $171.2 million.…

Should the Boston Celtics go all in on a Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit? Before we even weigh the pros and cons, let’s start with a series of unassailable truths: 1. When your season ends in disappointment three times in a four-year span — even if there’s a title campaign wedged in the middle — it’s absolutely fair to take a step back and evaluate all paths forward. It would be front office malpractice if the Celtics did not at least ponder the availability of a two-time MVP. 2. One of the most endearing qualities of a well-run team is having the…

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., the chair and ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee that oversees college sports, briefed The Associated Press on details of the bill they crafted in hopes it can get the 60 votes needed to clear the Senate.“This is…
