I realize you don't have a crystal ball (nobody except those online psychics have one). But based on the information you have now, I'm asking you to make your best guess -- will there be a work stoppage next year, with a proposed salary cap as the main point of contention? Will there be a 2027 season in MLB?
-Yes, a work stoppage, presuming you mean will there be a lockout at all.
-Yes, a salary cap will be proposed.
-But the 2027 season will happen in full, 162 games, perhaps delayed after the league and union negotiate just to the brink but eventually start spring training a little late.
You legit extremely called me out about using baseball to nerd out about labor law 😅

My personal guess goes something like this:
-Yes, a work stoppage, presuming you mean will there be a lockout at all.
-Yes, a salary cap will be proposed.
