    The average major league salary dropped 4.8% to just under $4.17 million on opening day from the start of the previous full season in 2019.

    The average has fallen 6.4% since the start of the 2017 season, when it peaked at $4.45 million, according to a study of major league contracts by The Associated Press. The salary downturn is yet another sign baseball could be headed toward labor strife and a possible work stoppage in 2022.
