The Major League Baseball Organization announced on the 18th that it will cancel the open game scheduled from 26th this month until 5th next month due to the unsuccessful labor-management negotiations with the players' association.
In the major leagues, the labor-management agreement with the players' association expired in December last year, and all activities related to labor and management have been stopped for two and a half months. The camp hasn't started either.
Under these circumstances, the Major League Baseball Organization has announced that it will cancel the open game scheduled to start in Arizona and Florida from the 26th of this month until the 5th of next month.
The Major League Baseball Organization said, "The 30 teams have a strong desire to return players and fans to the stadium. We will negotiate daily from 21st this month so that we can agree with the players' association, and the season will start as planned. I'm aiming for it. "
On the other hand, the players' association also announced a comment, saying, "The announcement of the Major League Baseball Organization that it has to be canceled is wrong."
In this labor-management negotiation, there is a big gap between the two sides' claims on many items such as reviewing the standard of "luxury tax" paid to the major league baseball team by the baseball team with high annual salary and improving the treatment of young players, and we can reach an agreement within this month. If not, the unusual situation continues, which could affect the start of the season scheduled for 31st next month.
