Report: Opening Day in Jeopardy as MLB and MLBPA Continue Tense Negotiations

Major League Baseball did not respond well to the MLB Players Association’s updated proposal on Saturday, according to multiple reports.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan notes that multiple officials believe that a deal will not get done by the league’s Monday deadline, which would put Opening Day in serious jeopardy.

Following MLB’s reaction to the union’s proposal, the players are now considering walking away from the negotiating table, according to Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post.

No meeting is immediately scheduled for tomorrow between MLB and MLBPA, according to Evan Drellich of The Athletic.
