The clock is ticking.
Major League Baseball plans to cancel a second week of regular-season games if it can’t agree to a new collective bargaining agreement with the players union by tonight, according to ESPN.
The league suggested Monday that Tuesday was the deadline to get in a full 162-game season and for the players to receive full pay.
Among the numerous issues that still need to be hammered out: expanded playoffs and the draft lottery.
Is there any glimmer of hope a deal is done today?
