Locked-out players and MLB engaged in a series of intense meetings that stretched into early Tuesday morning as they tried to reach a new CBA and salvage a full regular season.
AP Baseball Writer
Players and owners met for a 13th time with a session that started after 2 a.m. ET as the lockout reached its 90th day. They made progress toward an agreement but remained far apart on key issues. Deputy commissioner Dan Halem and executive vice president Morgan Sword were key figures in the meetings. Some sessions lasted mere minutes and also included senior vice president Pat Houlihan.
The union has not said whether it agrees with the deadline, and baseball has shortened spring training to as few as three weeks in the past. The sides arrived at 10 a.m., three hours earlier than previous days, at Roger Dean Stadium, the vacant spring training home of the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals.
Spring training games were to have begun Saturday, but baseball’s ninth work stoppage – and first since 1995 – already has led to exhibitions being canceled through March 7.
