Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association spent more than 16 hours Monday into Tuesday negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. The goal was to get a deal by the end of the day in order to meet the league’s imposed Monday deadline to start the season on time.
They left without a new CBA, but the two sides made enough progress that MLB extended its deadline to 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to a league spokesperson. The owners and players will be back at the bargaining table Tuesday morning.
