Major League Baseball has cancelled three more days of spring training games: March 5, 6, 7, spokesman says. The earliest spring training games can start, by MLB’s scheduling, is March 8. Of course, that’s contingent on getting a deal done by then, so more games could be canceled
The report comes after an MLB spokesperson said Wednesday that some regular-season games will be canceled if MLB and MLBPA don’t agree to a new CBA by Monday.
MLB locked out the players on Dec. 2 after the previous CBA expired without a new one in place. The league had already announced that the start of spring training games had been postponed until March 5.
The regular season is currently scheduled to start on March 31 with all 30 teams in action.
