New York — Negotiators for locked-out players and Major League Baseball spent 161/2 hours bargaining, then recessed talks until Wednesday morning as commissioner Rob Manfred let his deadline to reach a deal preserving a 162-game season pass.

Shortly after 3 a.m. on the 98th day of the lockout, MLB said no additional games had been canceled and talks will continue.

MLB deputy commissioner Dan Halem, from left, senior vice president Patrick Houlihan, executive vice president Morgan Sword, and spokesman Glen Caplin arrive at the Major League Baseball Players Association in New York for labor negotiations on Tuesday.

“The players’ association requested to speak to their board early tomorrow before responding to our proposal and will be getting back to us in the morning,” an MLB spokesman said in a statement.
