MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: Despite some hope on Tuesday night into Wednesday evening that the new CBA would finally get completed, no deal was reached and MLB announced that Opening Day will be postponed until at least April 14th. Commissioner Rob Manfred released a statement laying all of the blame at the feet of the players, while the MLBPA did the same, saying the opposite. As Andrew detailed last night, the sticking points appeared to be the owners’ desire to see an international draft instituted, as well as the players’ attempts to remove the qualifying offer from free agency for certain players.
