Representatives from MLB, MLBPA resume labor talks Thursday at informal NYC meeting

Representatives from Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association held an informal meeting Thursday to resume talks amid baseball's work stoppage, multiple sources told ESPN.

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.
