MLB negotiations remain stalled as Monday deadline looms

The clock is ticking for Major League Baseball players and team owners to settle an ongoing contract dispute that threatens to scuttle the start of the 2022-23 season.

MLB officials told players last week that the league would cancel some regular season games if the sides fail to reach a new deal by midnight on Monday. MLB players signed a five-year employment contract with the league in 2017, but that collective bargaining agreement expired December 2.

Although Major League Baseball Players Association has been in private negotiations with team owners since then, the talks have stalled for months. It's unclear how many games MLB might cancel if no deal is reached.

"I see missing games as a disastrous outcome for this industry, and we're committed to making an agreement in an effort to avoid that," MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said earlier this month at a press conference in Florida when asked about the impasse in negotiations.
