The MLB lockout is over, and it ended in time to save the season! The 2022 campaign will feature the customary 162 games.
However, there’s a slight delay to Opening Day. The Oakland A’s will now begin their season on April 8, on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies. Some other teams will get started the day before.
The A’s were originally scheduled to open at home on March 31 against the Angels, but as the lockout dragged into the spring that timetable was no longer logistically possible. Last week the league officially postponed Opening Day and canceled each team’s first two series, but fortunately a new labor deal was reached before any more dates were affected.
