Major League Baseball owners and players reached an agreement yesterday on a new collective bargaining agreement. Once ratified, the season will start April 7th. Increased minimum salaries are expected to be part of the new CBA that will be in place for five years. Other changes agreed to include a universal designated hitter and a Draft lottery.
More than 200 players who remain free agents, such as stars Kris Bryant, Freddie Freeman and Carlos Correa, will be able to sign new contracts once the CBA is finalized. Spring Training will begin ramping up this weekend in Arizona and Florida. Games will begin next week.
