Baseball’s current CBA expires Thursday and according to Jon Heyman talks between baseball and the Players Association will resume Sunday in Dallas.
Heyman reported that there are “high hopes” that an agreement will be reached on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement before Thursday’s deadline. But the pace of negotiations have not picked up and a possibility of a lockout as not been ruled out.
According to Jon Heyman, Commissioner Rob Manfred believes the two sides will reach an agreement.
Commissioner Manfred indicated at the GM Meetings earlier this month that if a new CBA was not in place then baseball “would proceed under the old CBA until a new agreement is reached” according to Nick Cafardo.
