The first two weeks of the MLB schedule are now canceled.
Another deadline imposed by MLB owners came and passed Wednesday without a new labor agreement, meaning the start of baseball’s regular season will be delayed by another week — and nixing the San Francisco Giants’ scheduled home opener.
April 18 is now the earliest professional baseball could be played in the Bay Area, the date the Oakland A’s are set to host the Baltimore Orioles. But fans will have to wait even longer to make it inside Oracle Park. If the two sides come to an agreement without any further delays, a Bay Bridge Series on the shores of McCovey Cove could start a shortened season for the second time in three years — the Giants are set to host the A’s for two games starting April 26.
The A’s, meanwhile, are scheduled to wrap up a four-game series on April 14, but the language used by MLB — speaking in terms of series — would indicate that they, too, will have to wait until April 15 for Opening Day. Oakland already lost six home games with the first set of cancelations and would now open the season at Toronto, after more series at Philadelphia and at Tampa Bay were wiped out Wednesday.
MLB said it would not make a new counteroffer to players unless the union first chose one of three options: agreeing to the international draft in exchange for the elimination of direct amateur draft pick compensation for qualified free agents; keeping compensation in exchange for MLB dropping the international draft proposal; or dropping compensation while giving players until Nov.
Players dropped their threshold for the luxury tax to $232 million this year, with increases to $235 million in 2023, $240 million in 2024 and $245 million in 2025 and $250 million in 2026.
