Braves fans and Cobb County businesses want MLB dispute resolved

The Atlanta Braves' upcoming season hangs in the balance as Major League Baseball owners and players continue a dispute over pay.

After a meeting Tuesday didn’t result in an agreement, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Opening Day will be canceled along with the first six games of the 2022 season. The lockout has been ongoing since the previous collective bargaining agreement expired Dec. 1, 2021.

Braves fans like Emily Eubanks are wondering when the lockout will end. She said she doesn’t want to see the Braves lose momentum over the dispute.

“Hopefully they will be able to come to some sort of agreement so we can quickly get back to business, which is them playing and winning,” Eubanks said.
