On Thursday, MLB owners and the players’ association agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, bringing an end to a 99-day lockout that began on Dec. 2.
It was the second-longest work stoppage in MLB history.
Despite MLB-imposed deadlines on Feb. 28 and March 9 to salvage a full season, no games will be missed in 2022. Each team will play their usual 162-game slate, with Opening Day set for April 7 – exactly one week after its originally scheduled date of March 31.
The end of the season will be extended three extra days, and nine-inning doubleheaders will be played to make up for lost time. Players will also receive their full salaries in 2022.
