MLB Hopes To Finalize Deal Before Tuesday Deadline
3 years agoMajor League Baseball and the Players Association moved the deadline for a new collective bargaining agreement that would save regular season games from being canceled to 5 p.m. ET Tuesday after a 16-hour day of negotiations on Monday. While the two sides made progress, gaps remain on competitive-balance tax thresholds, minimum salary and bonus pool for pre-arbitration players, according to sources. An international draft is also on the table. An MLB official said they thought they had a "path to a deal" Monday night, but the union has struck a different note on Tuesday. MLB will make one final best offer and hope for the best, but things have turned south after a positive day on Monday. Stay tuned.
