Major League Baseball is expected to cancel another week of regular-season games soon after negotiations Sunday provided little movement toward a deal to end its 95-day lockout.
The biggest change Sunday was that the players union gave MLB the right to implement rule changes with a 45-day notice instead of a full year, permitting a pitch clock, a shift ban and enlarged bases in 2023, but not an automated strike zone.
"We were hoping to see some movement in our direction to give us additional flexibility and get a deal done quickly," MLB spokesman Glen Caplin said.
