The MLB team and the players union failed to reach a final agreement after negotiating a marathon for 16 hours.First of all, the deadline for negotiations has been delayed by one day.

The MLB club and the players union could not reach a final agreement during negotiations held at the Jupiter Roger Dean Stadium in Florida on the 1st but some compromises were reached, and they met again on the 2nd to continue negotiations to revise the agreement.It is known that the start of the regular league (April 1) has not been postponed.

According to the local American media AP News, the number of teams advancing to the postseason will increase from 10 to 12.The club claimed 14 teams and the players union claimed 12 teams.

The two sides are still at odds with each other on the luxury tax issue, which showed the most difference of opinion, but they are expected to continue the discussion by presenting the amendments they each claim.Earlier, the club proposed to raise the luxury tax from $210 million to $220 million this year, but the players union is demanding more than $230 million.

The club also proposed to raise the amount of bonuses given to players before they qualify for salary adjustments to $25 million, raise the league minimum salary to $675,000, and then pay $10,000 annually thereafter.However, the players union adheres to the claim of the minimum salary of $700,000, and the two sides are expected to fight fiercely until the last minute.

Currently, MLB has failed to renew the Labor-Management Collective Agreement (CBA) and has been on lockdown since December 2 last year.
