NEW: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have come to a tentative agreement on a new labor deal, meaning Opening day could be held as soon as early April, according to reports.
NEW YORK — Nearly 100 days after the MLB lockout began, the MLB Players Association has reportedly voted to accept the league's offer on a new labor deal, paving the way to end the lockout and salvage a 162-game season.
"While it still needs to be ratified by both parties, that is expected to be a formality, and when it is: Baseball is back," Passan tweeted. Talks aimed at ending the lockout bogged down on the draft issue Wednesday, and baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred canceled 93 more games, raising the total to 184.According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the league's proposal consists of raising the luxury tax threshold to start at $230 million and raising it to $244 million in 2026.
