The MLB and players' union have paused negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement after a 16-hour day of meetings that stretched into early Tuesday morning, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Enough progress was made that MLB and the MLBPA will meet again later Tuesday in hopes of finalizing a deal.

The deadline to avoid missing regular-season games has been moved to 5 p.m. Tuesday.

In talks that began Monday, the sides met for a 13th time with a session that started after 2 a.m. as the lockout reached its 90th day. They made progress toward an agreement but remained very far apart on key issues.
