<p><strong>The wait is over</strong>. The day baseball fans have been waiting for is here: a new <strong>Collective Bargaining Agreement</strong> is reportedly on place, meaning that the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/max-scherzer-mlbpa-rip-robert-manfred-as-mlb-cancels-more-games-20220310-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB lockout</a> will be over as soon as both parties ratify the new labor deal.</strong></p>
<p>Trade moves andsignings have been halted for a while, a number ofgames have been canceled, and what’s most important, <strong>theOpening Day of the 2022 MLB regular season <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-delay-opening-day-2022-and-cancels-first-two-series-of-the-season-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20220301-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was postponed</a></strong>until April 14 as a result of the lengthy, three-month lockout. <strong>But it’s time to turn the page</strong>, as the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/baseball-memorabilia-the-mlb-articles-sold-for-millions-of-dollars-at-auction-20220112-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> and the MLB Players Associationhave reportedly agreed to terms.</p>
<p><em>“BREAKING: Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reached a tentative agreement on a new labor deal, sources tell ESPN. While it still needs to be ratified by both parties, that is expected to be a formality, and when it is: Baseball is back,”</em> Jeff Passan reported.</p>
<h2>When is MLB Opening Day 2022?</h2>
<p>The MLB was expected to be underway by now. However,coming out from thelockout took longer than expected as the MLB and the MLBPA failed to reach a new agreement and each team’s first four series were canceled. But fortunately, the league’s resumption seems to be just around the corner.</p>
<p><strong>Opening Day of the 2022 Major League Baseball regular season would be April 7</strong>, as reported by Jeff Passan and ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, pending official confirmation. Spring Training camps could begin as early as Friday, March 11, but reports suggest they won’t start before Sunday.</p>
<h2>How many games will be played in the 2022 MLB regular season?</h2>
<p>Despite the first four series of every team were removed from the schedule at first, <strong>this agreement wouldguarantee afull 162-game regular season</strong>, asthe four series that were previously removed would be rescheduled. <em>“The makeup games that came as a result of the delay will be rescheduled as nine-inning doubleheaders,”</em> MLB insider Mark Feinsand reported.</p>
<p>Once the two sides ratify the new CBA to officially end the lockout, teams will be ready to get back to business and set their sights onfree agency.<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-the-most-likely-landing-spots-for-carlos-correa-20220225-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Correa</a>, Trevor Story, Freddie Freeman, and Kris Bryant are some of the biggest names on the market</strong>.</p>
<h2>MLB labor deal: What’s the new CBA in 2022?</h2>
<p><strong>(Via Mark Feinsand of MLB.com)</strong></p>
<p><em>“The new five-year CBA is expected to include increased minimum salaries, a new pre-arbitration bonus pool to reward the top young players in the game, a raise in competitive balance tax thresholds, the introduction of a universal designated hitter, the widest-ranging Draft lottery in pro sports, a system to prevent alleged service-time manipulation, limits on the number of times a player can be optioned in a season and a 12-team postseason. There will also be the evaluation of an international Draft.”</em></p>

MLB is back: When is 2022 Opening Day? Start date updated after labor deal

MLB is back: When is 2022 Opening Day? Start date updated after labor deal - Bolavip US

<p>It’s been a wildcouple of days in sports. The<strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/milwaukee-bucks-t100207" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Milwaukee Bucks</a> </strong>created a snowball effect as they decided to boycott their NBA playoffs game vs. the <strong>Orlando Magic</strong>, a decision that led to <strong>WNBA, MLS, and MLB </strong>players <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/twitter-mls-teams-and-players-protest-jacob-blake-shooting-games-postponed-20200826-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to join them in their protest.</a></strong></p>
<p>Several teams decided to not play on Wednesday and even though the <a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> reached an agreement with team owners Thursday morning<strong>, others MLB Clubs decided to join in the protest </strong>for yesterday’s games as well, including the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/new-york-mets-t110386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets.</a></strong></p>
<p>That’s when things got ugly between the Mets and MLB Commissioner<strong> Robert Manfred</strong>, as New York’s GM<strong> Brodie Van Wagenen</strong> publically called out Manfred and accused him of ‘not getting it’ as he allegedly proposed that the game was played an hour later instead of not played at all.</p>

<h2>Robert Manfred Posted A Blunt Statement</h2>
<p>Robert Manfred was quick to let everybody know that he hadn’t made that or any kind of suggestion, reaffirming that he <strong>fully supports</strong> the players’ decision to not play as a mean of protest:</p>

<p><em>“Over the past two days, players on a number of Clubs have decided to not play games. I said both publically and privately that I respect those decisions and support the need to address social injustice. I have not attempted in any way to prevent players from expressing themselves by not playing, <strong>nor have I suggested any alternative form of protest to any Club personnelor any player</strong>. Any suggestion to contrary is wrong,”</em> the statement read.</p>
<h2>Van Wagenen Apologized, Blamed Mets’ Owner Jeff Wilpon</h2>
<p>Turns out that Manfred had never said anything like that and it was Mets’ majority owner<strong> Jeff Wilpon</strong> the one to make that suggestion, as he was reportedly ‘worried’ about the team’s schedule situation.</p>

<p>     <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </p></div>
<p></p></div>
<p>Brodie Van Wagenen then <strong>posted a statement apologizing to Robert Manfred</strong> and stating that he misunderstood that the suggestion had come from the commissioner, showing yet another example of how dysfunctional the Mets are as an organization right now.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<div id="relatedNews-94">   </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Both <strong>Jeff and Fred Wilpon</strong> posted statements of their own showing their support and good relationship with Robert Manfred and throwing Van Wagenen under the bust for his hot-mic comments.</p>

<p> Also, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon has fallen on the sword for the 8:10 PM game time proposal.</p>
<p> And somehow, they misspelled Brodie’s name in this statement. <a href="https://t.co/4h3U9VVi6z">pic.twitter.com/4h3U9VVi6z</a></p>

<p>     <span class="item first"></span>  <span class="item second"></span>  <span class="item third"></span> </p></div>
<p></p></div>
<p>The New York Mets look lost as an organization right now and that’s why <strong>Álex Rodríguez </strong>and a group of investors <strong>areso eager to take the team away from the Wilpons</strong>. Hopefully, they’ll succeed.</p>
