What’s next after MLB owners imposed a lockout of players?
CHICAGO — While acknowledging that a lockout is “bad for our business,” Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said owners imposed one “out of a desire to drive the process forward to an agreement now.”
Manfred spoke with reporters Thursday morning in Arlington, Texas, a few hours after the collective bargaining agreement between MLB and the players association expired and the owners locked out the players.
It’s the first MLB work stoppage since the strike that led to the cancellation of the 1994 World Series
