Let there be baseball.
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association reportedly came to terms on a new collective bargaining agreement Thursday, although it still has to be ratified, per ESPN's Jeff Passan.
That means the league-initiated lockout that lasted 99 days is over, and fans can turn their attention toward actual baseball ahead of what will be a full 162-game season.
While the second-longest work stoppage in MLB history dragged on as the two sides debated things such as the competitive balance tax threshold, international draft and draft lottery issues, minimum salaries and the pre-arbitration bonus pool, other rule changes also stand out.
