There has been some brave talk by both MLB owners and the MLB Players Association that negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement could continue as soon as tomorrow, per Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post. Possible, I suppose, but that doesn’t mean we’d be any closer to an agreement between the parties as we were when Commissioner Rob Manfred cancelled the first two series of the regular season.
Curiously, only four days’ worth of Spring Training games were cancelled. MLB had announced that if a deal had been reached Tuesday, March 1, that spring games would begin a week from that date, Tuesday, March 8.
