JUPITER, Fla. — With one day left before Major League Baseball’s deadline to salvage a March 31 start to the regular season, representatives for the league and union paused exchanging formal proposals Sunday and instead held a series of small meetings probing for what it would take to reach a deal.
The sides head into Monday’s league-mandated deadline day set to negotiate for the eighth straight day, which is progress given they had just s ix sessions on central economics from the start of the lockout through Feb. 20.
