In case you haven’t heard, baseball will not be returning on the originally scheduled Opening Day for the second time in three years. On Dec. 2, the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) and MLB’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) expired, forcing a lockout that, without a new CBA, would result in no baseball until resolved. Three months later, there was still no agreement, and reports from meetings showed that both sides are incredibly far apart on core issues. It was a completely unnecessary situation caused by owner greed and feeble attempts to get close to what the players union sees to be a fair deal.
