Hope for baseball this spring continues to diminish

We are 90 days into MLB’s lockout and two days into the first work stoppage in the sport since 1994, after Rob Manfred canceled the first two series of the 2022 baseball season on Tuesday.

Opening Day was scheduled to take place on March 31, but the earliest that games will be played this year is April 8, and that is IF the league and players association can reach an agreement within the next week. Cancelling the first two series of the year has shortened the season to 156 games (from 162), with 91 total games canceled thus far.
