Tuesday Bird Droppings: Finally, signs of progress in MLB labor talks

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

You guys, I don’t want to jinx anything, but the MLB lockout might be creeping toward its end.

Yesterday brought a marathon round of labor talks between Major League Baseball and the MLBPA, a day of discussions that began around 10 in the morning and continued well past midnight, with at least a dozen separate face-to-face meetings between league and union negotiators.

MLB had previously targeted Feb. 28 as its deadline for reaching a deal, stating that if no collective bargaining agreement was struck by that date, the season’s March 31 Opening Day wouldn’t happen as scheduled.
