Lockout Over!

  Agreement in place! MLB lockout is over!


MLB and the MLBPA finally sat down and came to terms with each other and agreed to end the MLB lockout and get players back to the field and give a start date of April 7th.  With the end of the lockout came a flurry of moves now enabled to be done with the new CBA in place. A quick rundown of a few of whom is going where:

- Trevor Story signs with the Boston Red Sox

- Carlos Correa signs with the Minnesota Twins

- Kris Bryant signs with the Colorado Rockies

- Jorge Soler sings with the Miami Marlins

- Kenley Jansen signs with the Atlanta Braves

- Freddie Freeman signs with the Los Angeles Dodgers

- Seiya Suzuki signs with the Chicago Cubs

- Kyle Schwarber signs with the Philadelphia Phillies

- Anthony Rizzo signs with the New York Yankees

There are still some uncertain factors to settle in MLB CBA, such as the "ghost runner" on second but the two sides have finally agreed to terms to make the season happen. There will reportedly be no loss in games, either. MLB plans to run the regular season into October in order to get all 162 games in.

Player minimum salaries are going up along with the luxury tax, one thing that benefits both the players and the owners. A rare compromise by both sides to get this deal done and in place.

All 30 MLB teams are in full spring training swing now that the CBA has been settled
