JUPITER, Fla. — Park the trucks. Keep the Clydesdales comfortable.
It could be awhile.
Despite two long days of negotiations getting Major League Baseball and the players' union closer to striking an agreement and assuring a complete 162-game schedule, the commissioner determined a deal was not going to happen in time Wednesday night. Commissioner Rob Manfred officially cancelled the third and fourth series of the season.
The Cardinals' home opener April 7 at Busch Stadium is in the group of games canceled, and Manfred's move covers the entirety of the Cardinals' first home stand.
The Cardinals' next scheduled home game is April 25.
