MLB cancels start of baseball season as talks falter
CBSN
Major League Baseball on Tuesday canceled at least six of its first batch of games for the 2022-23 season after team owners and the players' union failed to reach agreement on a new employment contract.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said the league and team owners made several concessions to the players' union during negotiations on Tuesday in Florida, but the sides could not reach a deal on a collective bargaining agreement.
"The clubs and our owners fully understand just how important it is to our millions of fans that we get the game on the field as soon as possible," Manfred said during a press conference after talks broke down. "To that end, we want to bargain and we want an agreement with the players association as quickly as possible."
