MLB and the MLB Umpires Association came to a "tentative agreement" on a new five-year collective bargaining agreement on Monday, according to ESPN's Jesse Rogers.
The new CBA is still pending ratification by the umpires and owners in Jan. 2025, as the previous contract between both sides expired after the 2024 season concluded.
The agreement means the league is "likely to move forward" with plans to test out an automated strike system throughout Spring Training prior to the 2025 season, per Rogers.
