No Major League baseball until mid-April at best as talks collapse

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred officially canceled Opening Day on March 31st and the first two series for each of the 30 teams yesterday as talks with the players’ union trying to reach a new labor deal collapsed. Manfred said that players, who were locked on December 2nd, won’t receive salary for games missed. No dates have been scheduled for bargaining to resume. This is the first time in 27 years that regular-season games have been canceled due to a labor battle.
