Nothing new... just some anonymous source saying progress is being made. No details. Almost felt like click bait.

Whether that will be enough to get a deal done is also unknown. Still in question are other big issues -- the minimum salary, the size of the overall salary cap, and length of the new CBA.

I think the salary cap and dp slots have been agreed upon for a while now. The last few days have been about free agency and also sponsorships which the MLSPU is adding to their arsenal on why free agency needs to happen. I hope this gets done soon.

That doesn't look to be the case.

Reported: Free Agency is reportedly closer to 26 and 6. 10% cap on FA contracts moving up. Fight is pretty much on length of CBA now. League wants 8, players want around 5 years.

It's is being reported that the 10% number is going up, I think it will be 20%.

Players are smelling blood because they asked for MLS to open their books and revenue sharing! That's NOT going to happen.

Not to be that guy but told ya

Am I wrong in thinking it seems the players are making ground and winning this thing? They could hit 25/5 and a 20% increase? I also hope a 4th DP slot was agreed upon. This CBA should be for 5 years. 8 is ridiculous especially if the union cant get most of the proposals.

It won't matter if they get the 40-45% of annual soccer revenue, 25/5 20% and 100% min salary for players. They could make it a 10 year CBA and the owners would get that as a HUGE win.

Revenue sharing is the next CBA fight... maybe even before full FA.

Having the Audi deal leak and ESPN come out today is killing the owners's PR.
