Another negotiating session produced only minor movement and no proposals on big-money issues, leaving Major League Baseball four days from management's Monday night deadline for a deal to salvage opening day and a 162-game season.
New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, Houston pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and Miami infielder Miguel Rojas have joined baseball negotiations in Florida with Major League Baseball's deadline looming for a labor deal to salvage opening day and a 162-game season.
Locked out baseball players and team owners were meeting for the second day in a row in Florida in an attempt to reach an agreement that would salvage opening day on March 31.
Baseball negotiations resumed with renewed intensity Monday in an effort to salvage opening day, and Major League Baseball made slight moves toward locked-out players.
With perhaps a week left to salvage opening day, baseball players' union head Tony Clark is attending negotiations for the first time since the Major League Baseball lockout began.
A one-time colleague has testified that former Los Angeles Angels employee Eric Prescott Kay confided that he watched Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs do drugs the night before he was found dead in Texas.
Four major league players have testified they received oxycodone pills from a former Los Angeles Angels employee accused of providing Tyler Skaggs the drugs that led to the pitcher's overdose death.
Locked out players rejected Major League Baseball’s request for a federal mediator to enter stalled labor negotiations, a move that pretty much eliminated any chance for an on-time start to spring training and increased the work stoppage’s threat to opening day.
Unlike major league baseball, who's spring training start is in question due to a lockout, minor league baseball's Salt Lake Bees have added six games to the 2022 schedule.
Major League Baseball will not require players with minor league contracts to be vaccinated against COVID-19 this season but is mandating that most staff receive the shots.
