Jupiter, Fla. — Negotiators for locked-out players and owners recessed their talks until Monday, the day Major League Baseball had set as a deadline to salvage March 31 openers.

The sides held a series of short and more frequent meetings that stretched into Sunday night before saying they would resume in the morning.

MLB says that if there is not a deal by the end of Monday, there will not be enough training time to start the season as scheduled and play 162 games.
