Major League Baseball’s Opening Day, originally slated for March 31st, has been postponed following a breakdown in negotiations between league officials and the players’ union.MLB Commissioner rob Manfred announced the delay in Florida, where intense bargaining sessions have been taking place for days.This marks the first time in nearly three decades that a labor dispute has forced a delayed start to the MLB season. According to US media reports, this is the fourth such occurence in league history, with the last instance happening in 1995. At the heart of the conflict are disagreements over player compensation and the structure of the postseason, including the number of teams that qualify.The postponement will initially impact at least the first two series of the season, leaving fans and players alike in limbo as negotiations continue.
