Grading All 20 MLP Teams (2026): Who Built, Who Spent, Who Flipped Players + New Salary Rules Rumors
I break down why 2026 was MLP’s best season yet but exposed a major spending divide, highlighted by the Shock paying $1.23M for Anna Bright while the Hogs spent the league minimum.
I share rumored upcoming rule changes—possible $500K salary floor, $1M cap, $600K max per player, and a franchise tag then grade all 20 teams based on results, likely objectives, and how they’re positioned for next year. I group teams by strategy (building for the future, playing the market, unclear plan, and win-now contenders) and give key roster/keeper takeaways, including Chicago Slice’s comeback, Miami’s trade-profit approach, the Hogs’ last-place failure, and the Fives winning the title after acquiring Federico Staksrud. I close with thoughts on parity, trade-deadline changes, future free agency, and MLP’s strong viewership and atmosphere!
