MLB cancels more games as owners, players fail to reach deal

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Wednesday that another slate of regular season games has been canceled, pushing opening day back to April 14 at the earliest. The announcement comes as MLB and the players' union continue negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

"On the key economic issues that have posed stumbling blocks, the Clubs proposed ways to bridge gaps to preserve a full schedule," Manfred said in a statement Wednesday. "Regrettably, after our second late-night bargaining session in a week, we remain without a deal."

The cancelations have now pushed the 2022 MLB season, which was originally scheduled to begin March 31, back at least two full weeks.
