JUPITER, Fla. (AP) – Major League Baseball has canceled opening day. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Tuesday afternoon the sport will lose regular-season games over a labor dispute.
This is the first time in 27 years after acrimonious lockout talks collapsed in the hours before management’s deadline, the Associated Press reports.
After the sides made progress during 13 negotiating sessions over 16 1/2 hours Monday, the league sent the players’ association a “best and final offer” on the ninth straight day of negotiations.
According to AP, players rejected the offer. The rejection set the stage for the MLB to follow through on threats to cancel opening day on March 31.
The ninth work stoppage in baseball history will be the fourth that causes regular-season games to be canceled, AP confirmed.
