MLB cancels second week of games as Opening Day pushed back to April 14

Another self-imposed deadline has come and passed, as MLB and the MLB Players Association were unable to reach a deal on a new collective bargaining agreement on Wednesday. As a result, the league has announced that, a week after hitting the brakes the first two series of the year, another two series will be canceled.

For the San Francisco Giants, that means that their scheduled home opening series against the Miami Marlins, which was scheduled for Friday, April 8, through Sunday, April 10, is no more. Neither is their home series against the San Diego Padres, which was scheduled to run from Monday, April 11 through Wednesday, April 13.
