Daily News | MLB cancels more spring-training games, pushing the schedule back to at least March 18
Three days after nixing the first week of the regular season, with collective bargaining talks on pause, Major League Baseball on Friday canceled another batch of spring-training games.
It’s unclear when talks will resume between MLB and the Players Association. Negotiators for the owners and players met informally for 90 minutes Thursday in New York to discuss most core economic issues but didn’t set a date for their next bargaining session. But New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer, a leader in the union, said this week that the players’ objection to a 14-team format was MLB’s proposed format, which gave a bye to only the top team in each league rather than all six division winners.
