La Major League Baseball presented a plan with a maximum date to negotiate and thus not alter the schedule of the season. This was stated by the journalist Evan Drellich, through his Twitter account.
“MLB presented the MLBPA with a schedule: i.e. to start the regular season on time, an agreement is needed before X. It is not known what specific days/timeframes MLB suggested. It is not yet known if the MLBPA agrees with how it sees it.” MLB. Union has to review everything. To be determined.”
MLB today presented the MLBPA with a calendar: i.e., to start regular season on time, a deal is needed by X day. Not known what specific days/deadlines MLB suggested. Unknown yet if MLBPA agrees with the calendar as MLB sees it. Union has to review it all. TBD.

Let’s remember that for this Wednesday, February 16, pitchers and catchers must report to spring training according to the already established schedule. However, this presence is questioned due to the negotiation process.
The preseason games are expected to start on February 26 and the start of the season on March 31.
Currently the MLB is in the process of negotiating with the Players Union and they have not yet reached a deal, among the proposals they demand are: minimum salary, pre-arbitration bonus, manipulation of service time, continuity in the roster and physical examination prior to the draft.
