First Two Series Canceled for 2022 MLB Season

The MLB season has officially canceled the first two series of the 2022 baseball season.

On Tuesday, the MLB owners and the MLB Players Association could not come to terms on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement to end the lockout in the major leagues.

After a highly productive start to the week, the owners and the MLBPA expected Tuesday to be a day for grinding out the details of a new CBA, but both sides took major steps backward after the owners pushed for new issues to be solved, such as the elimination of the shift, the CBT tax, and the luxury bonus pool.

Commissioner Rob Manfred told media that the owners and the MLBPA will continue discussions on Thursday in New York, as the threat of extended cancelations looms for the MLB.
