(The Sports Xchange) – Major League Baseball and its players association were prepared to go extra innings but instead agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement Wednesday, with the five-year deal completed only hours before the old one was to expire.
MLB announced that the sides reached a tentative agreement, pending ratification by both management and the players.
The sides met at a hotel outside Dallas where the MLBPA held its annual executive board meeting.
The old agreement was to expire at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, but a lockout wasn’t expected because both sides were keen to continue negotiating.
