Opening Day, originally scheduled for March 31, has been shelved. MLB
Unable to reach a deal by this past Tuesday’s 5 p.m. mutually accepted deadline between the pertinent parties, the seemingly inevitable became official. Opening Day, originally scheduled for March 31, has been shelved. Spring training, which was set to start Feb. 26, already has been delayed.
Tony Clark, the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, also expressed his disappointment with the outcome of the talks. The players are seeking several changes, most significantly an increase in the Competitive Balance Tax threshold, which essentially serves as a de facto salary cap, that would begin at $220 million per season and escalate in later years of the agreement, a minimum salary of $700,000, and reconfigured service time provisions, allowing players to reach free-agency sooner than the previous CBA afforded.
