During the 1880s salaries averaged around $2,000 but stars were paid as much as $10,000. Contracts at that time contained what was known as the Reserve Clause which stated that theteam 'reserved' the rights to the player's servicesonce the contract length had expired, hence, no free agency. The only way one could play for a new team was to be traded or be given an unconditional release.The first union was formed in 1885, in partdue to theReserve Clause,and five years later formed itsown league called the Players League. This made three major leagues: the National League, American Association, and Players League. All three lost big money. The Players League folded after one season, the American Association folded the following season, and in 1892 the National League became the sole Major League. They immediately implemented a strict contract salary cap of $2,400.
