NEW YORK: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) on Thursday, ended their most bitter money fight in a quarter-century and paving the way for the 2022 regular season to begin on April 7.
After the MLBPA approved the deal by a 26-12 vote, the owners ratified it Thursday night with a unanimous 30-0 vote, officially bringing the three-month lockout to a close.
The mandatory Spring Training report date for all clubs is Sunday. Exhibition games will begin on March 17 or 18.
