Players have voted to accept Major League Baseball's latest offer for a new labor deal, paving the way to end a 99-day lockout.
NEW YORK -- Players have voted to accept Major League Baseball's latest offer for a new labor deal, paving the way to end a 99-day lockout and salvage a 162-game regular season.
Opening day is now expected to be April 7 and players could report to Spring Training as early as Friday, ESPN reported.Major League Baseball and its locked-out players gained momentum toward an agreement Thursday after the bickering sides agreed to negotiate on an international amateur draft and management made a new counteroffer.
Under a deal reached on the 99th day of a lockout that has delayed the season, the sides agreed to a July 25 deadline to establish an international draft that would start in 2024. MLB raised its offer on the pre-arbitration bonus pool from $40 million to $50 million - players were at $65 million, with $5 million annual increases.
If the sides do not reach an agreement by July 25, direct amateur-draft pick compensation would remain in place. "We were talking these last few days about taking those first two series and finding a way to get them back in the schedule," Arizona Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall said."From what I'm hearing now, these four series are out."
