Detroit — Major League Baseball and the players union Wednesday night reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement that will run through the 2021 season and ensure labor peace in the sport for the next five years.
The agreement was reached just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, three hours before the old CBA was set to expire. It is still subject to ratification and there are myriad details still to be worked out.
But the big issues, the potential sticking points, were worked out over a marathon bargaining session that spanned nearly 24 hours between Tuesday and Wednesday.
