MLB players' union chief slams league's salary cap ad campaign
The dispute adds to rising tension between MLB and its players' union ahead of anticipated labor talks over a salary cap.
The head of Major League Baseball's players' union publicly criticized the league's management on Tuesday in Philadelphia, taking aim at an advertising campaign that promotes the idea of introducing a salary cap.
The union leader argued that the campaign's portrayal of financial hardship across the sport was misleading, calling the claims of economic woe "perverse."
Salary caps have long been a point of friction between MLB ownership and the players' union, which has historically opposed cap systems used in other North American professional sports leagues.
