Philadelphia Phillies star first baseman Bryce Harper told the 94WIP Morning Show on Tuesday in Clearwater, Florida that he does not believe the 2027 Major League Baseball season will start on time.
The league needs a new collective bargaining agreement and by all accounts, on-going negotiations have been messy.
One of the biggest talking points has been the potential addition of a salary cap.
94WIP's Joe DeCamara asked Harper if the players would sit out a full year to prevent a salary cap
"I think you should ask the owners about that too," Harper said. "I don't want to do it for the young guys if I'm not going to do it the right way, you know what I am saying? Like I think the stepping stone into what guys did for me to get me to where I am, I think I owe that to the young guys in our game as well."
