Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday that the league has canceled opening day after the union unanimously rejected the owners' “best and final” offer.
"There are a lot of people who make our game great. Many aren't seen or heard, but they are vital to the entertainment experience of our games," MLBPA Executive Board leaders Andrew Miller and Max Scherzer said in a statement.
