3 years agoMajor League Baseball indicated a willingness on Monday to miss a month of regular season games and took a more threatening tone than Sunday, according to sources briefed of Monday's first meeting between the league and Players Association. The league is pressing for a 14-team postseason, among other things, and it hasn't been well-received by the players. With lots of things still need to be worked out, it's looking unlikely that a new collective bargaining agreement will be reached by the end of the day. FanSided's Robert Murray reported that the Players Association has organized a "fully-staffed" stadium and facility for players to train in Mesa, Arizona, according to sources familiar with the situation. If Monday was truly a hard deadline for Opening Day to go on as scheduled, it looks like the regular season will be pushed back.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
