What happened: MLBPA interim executive director Bruce Meyer outlined the union's economic counterproposal, which includes increases to revenue sharing and letting teams keep more in-stadium revenue. Summarizing the goal, Meyer said, "We want to encourage more San Diegos," a nod to San Diego's aggressive spending.

Why it matters: The proposal lands as MLB pushes a salary-cap framework the union strongly opposes. Meyer has characterized the league's plan as the worst system for players in any major sport, setting up a contentious round of labor negotiations over how revenue is shared and spent.

What to watch: Watch for the league's response to the union's revenue-sharing counter and whether cap talks harden ahead of the next bargaining session.
