What were the work rules and salary for replacements?
Replacement players would make $115K per season, which is the major-league minimum under the owners’ November 17, 1994 proposal. Each team could offer up to $275K to up to three replacements who have at least three years of major-league service. Performance bonuses were not allowed. Replacements did not receive meal money until exhibition games began. Salaries were not guaranteed, although players who were replaced by union players (either as strike-breakers or when the strike ended) would receive $20K in termination pay. With the strike ending before opening day, the owners avoided the need for these payments; the Marlins and Cardinals paid them anyway. Teams could carry 32 players, with only 25 allowed to dress for each game; the other seven would be either disabled players or players held in reserve on a “taxi squad”. There was no disabled list.
