Thursday, there was an “informal” meeting between representatives of Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. Here’s how that went:
MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem and union attorney Bruce Meyer — the lead negotiators for both parties — were joined by league senior vice president Morgan Sword and MLBPA attorney Ian Penny, according to sources.
The New York-based meeting lasted 90 minutes, sources said, and covered the core issues that led MLB to cancel the first week of regular-season games Tuesday.
There was no indication as of Thursday afternoon when the sides planned to meet again.
