Like reader Dark-Frontier said, “No different than procrastinating on homework, it always gets done eventually.” That “gets done” is Major League Baseball’s newest collective bargaining agreement, which the owners and Players Association (MLBPA) agreed to on Wednesday, per Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal. The new deal was approved hours before the previous CBA was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. on December 1, and will extend for five years.
The new CBA came together rather quickly. Just a week ago, few details had emerged on the negotiations between the two sides, which can sometimes be hotly contested.
