Locked-out players and Major League Baseball engaged in a series of intense meetings that stretched into early Tuesday morning on the East Coast as they attempted to forge the path to a labor deal before management’s deadline for salvaging Opening Day.
No Bats, No Balls, No Fans: Pitchers, Catchers Don't Report to Spring Training as MLB Lockout Continues
Spring training games were to have begun Saturday, but baseball's ninth work stoppage — and first since 1995 — already has led to exhibitions being canceled through March 7. Not since Aug 30, 2002, has MLB come this close to losing regular-season games to labor strife. The union was set to strike at 3:20 p.m., but roughly 25 consecutive hours of meetings and caucuses culminated in an agreement at 11:45 a.m.
Players have asked for a $245 million threshold this year, rising to $273 million by the final season.
