Peace has been restored! Well, maybe not World Peace, but at least peace in the world of baseball, which makes up a significant part of our world as enthusiastic fans of the Boston Red Sox.
Major League Baseball and its player’s union struck an agreement Wednesday night on a five-year collective bargaining agreement that will run through the 2021 season. The new deal prevents a potential work stoppage and allows teams to get back to business.
The Red Sox were among the teams in a holding pattern as they awaited the outcome of a new deal as it pertains to changes to the luxury tax threshold, which will be a factor in shaping the team’s budget for spending this winter.
