According to numerous sources on Twitter, MLB and the MLBPA have reached an agreement on a new CBA. It just needs to be ratified by both sides, which everyone is saying is just a formality at this point. It appears that the next four weeks will be hectic leading up to Opening Day, which now appears to be scheduled on April 7th. Between now and then there is going to be Spring Training and a free agent frenzy, as many big names and just a lot of names in general are still on the market. There will be a lot to sort out once all of the details come in on the CBA, but that’s now a side note compared to the season starting. We will have more on those details once everything is released.
Players can report to spring-training camps as early as tomorrow. Opening Day is expected to be April 7, as @JesseRogersESPN first reported. Transactions unfreeze upon ratification, which is expected to come as early as today, meaning free agents can sign and trades can occur.
