A marathon day of bargaining sessions lasting nearly 17 hours produced progress toward a labor deal in MLB but left the sides still far apart
gave itself and the players’ association six hours to salvage opening day.
Commissioner Rob Manfred had said Monday was the last possible day to reach an agreement that would allow the minimum time needed for spring training in order to play openers as scheduled on 31 March. The union said it didn’t necessarily agree to the timeframe and just as the sides agreed to recess at 2.30am, MLB gave players the new deadline.
Yankees pitcher Jameson Taillon, who attended negotiations last week, tweeted: “Players are used to their ‘threats.’ Owners actions have made it clear all along that they have a set [number] of games where they still make profits/get TV money. They don’t want to play. It’s sad that these are the guys who drive the direction and ‘future’ of our amazing sport.”
